Our new software makes use of a warning system for anyone that violates our Rules & Guidelines. The system works the following way:
Our moderators have the ability to issue you warnings. Upon their discretion the warning can come with 0 points to 10 points.
10 points = Permanent Ban from our forums.
5 points = Temporary ban based on points expiration
Points expire after 1 month unless you reach 10 points, in which case you will be banned from the forums permanently.
If you achieve 5 points before the points expire, you will be banned until your account falls below 5 points again. This depends on when your points expire.
For an example, you get 4 points. 1 point on March 1, 2014, 1 point on March 2, 2014 and 2 points on March 3, 2014. You now have 4 points as of March 3, 2014. On March 21, 2014 you gain 1 more warning point which puts you at 5 points total.
Since you have 5 points now, you will be banned until April 1, 2014 since your first warning point will expire on that date and bring you back underneath 5 points.
If you don't understand this then please ask and I will try to help you gain a better understanding.
Better yet though, don't get warning points and you won't have to worry about it!
We have this system to make it easy for our moderators to take care of inappropriate content so that they can enjoy the forums.
Hopefully we will rarely have to use this and we can all enjoy the forum!
