Infraction System - How it works

[Dempsey]

There has been changes to the infraction system and they apply effective immediately but the staff want to explain these changes and how we'll be dealing with users from now on.

There will be infraction levels, as you pass these, you will serve a temporary ban, the bans becomes longer and longer until you reach the end of ours and the systems patience

3 Active Infractions = 1 week
5 Active Infractions = 2 weeks
6 Active Infractions = 1 Month

and/or

5 infraction = 1 week
8 infractions = 2 weeks
9 infractions = 3 weeks
10 infractions = Permanent

Infractions include but do not limit to

Flaming/Trolling User(s) 1 point   1 Month
Serious Flaming/Trolling User(s)  1 points  1 Month
Flaming/Trolling Staff 2 point   2 Months*
Signature Rule Violation  1 point   1 Month
Text Speak  1 point   1 Month
Spam/Offtopic Posting 1 point 1 month
Advertising without Permission  2 points 1 Month
Spammed Advertising  Permanent

*Expiry date will be extended as opposed to run concurrently

The infraction system is used by the moderators to keep track of users that bend the rules. If the staff deem that a user's behaviour to be completely out of order and a serious breach of the rules has occurred, we wont be using the infraction system, we'll just go straight to some form of ban of our choosing.

Also, these infraction ban levels and infraction types can change without notice but we'll usually update this thread if there is any.
