Warnings and bans - Tanya - 04-01-2024 September 23rd, 2005 This is how the warning and ban system will work. Users will be issued warning points for rule violations from 0 to 100.  Any user who accumulates 100 points will be permanently banned.  Warning points will disappear after two years since they were issued. Bans will start at 30 warning points. Warning levels: Notification: 1 point.  This warning level is assigned any time a moderator has to take action regarding one of your posts. Minor Warning: 5 points.  If a rule violation is minor or a moderator feels like they don't need to issue a full warning. Warning: 10 points.  This is the standard warning.  Four warnings will result in bans of increasing duration and 10 warnings will result in a permanent ban. Serious Warning: 20 points.  Severe Warning: 25 points.  This is the most severe warning.  Having any additional warning or at least five moderator interventions will result in an immediate ban. Penalties for warnings: Up to 29: No penalty other then the warnings on record. 30: Two day ban. 35: Three day ban. 40: Four day ban. 50: One week ban. 55: Two week ban. 60: One month ban. 70: Two month ban. 80: Three month ban. 90: Six month ban. 95: One year ban. 100: Permanent ban. Automatic bans: Moderators may ban users automatically without accumulation of warning points under certain conditions.  These bans can be temporary or permanent. Bans for users who register accounts just to troll. Spam accounts Extremely offensive personal attacks Posting obscene material Linking to malware or other illegal sites Permanent or long bans may be issued upon moderator consensus to users who have accumulated at least a 50% warning level. RE: Warnings and bans - Vanya - 05-10-2024 January 19th, 2010 We do not provide information about when warnings expire or when they were issued. If you want to get an idea of when a warning expires, check your private messages for the warning. Moderators should send out warning messages when they issue warning points and the date should give you an idea when the warning will expire. Users should be conducting themselves appropriately without considering whether or not they have warnings in effect. The longer you've been around the forum and the more warnings total that you've had means that the moderators are going to expect better from you and you shouldn't expect minor warnings when you know better.
