title: Rails, warnings on Validations
body: <p>hi all what i am trying to do is create a "soft" validation in other words instead of my failing the validation and not saving the data to the DB, id like to have the validation give a warning to the user and allow the user to save faulty data if they so choose. but the validator will give them a warning before.</p>
  
  <p>i want to do somehting like the following: </p>
  
  <pre><code>class MyModel &lt; ActiveRecord::Base
    warnings do
      validate :warnings_validation
    end
  
    def warnings_validation
      warnings.add(:name_of_element, "warning message") unless x == x
    end
  end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>my model uses alot of inheritance and so gems like <a href="https://github.com/gtd/validation_scopes" rel="nofollow">validations_scope</a> dont work any ideas what i can do/use ?</p>
