Warnings, Infraction and Bans

[Paul]

Some members have received warnings in the past for not following the rules. In the past a 10 warnings equals a ban, however the new forum has some changes....

If you get a warning from a moderator/admin dont worry - its more of a reminder message now and you will not receive any ban points however if you get an Infraction then you get ban points. At 10 ban points you receive a 24 ban from the forum. If you come back and get more then 20 Points is a one week ban. If you get 30 then you get a permenant ban from the forum.

Ban points usually expire in 10 days - but moderators could make them last longer or less - depends what you do, or a mod/admin could ban you right away.

Just thought I'd point this out in case you get a warning PM and think that means you are getting banned. As long as you read the rules you should be fine. Remember a warning on this forum is just a reminder!

Thanks
