In an attempt to better manage things, we are experimenting with a rules-infraction system. We are often asked "which post" and "why". This system will send you a note indicating which rules and which post are in question. The system also weights each infraction with points.
If you 'earn' 20 points, your account is suspended until the points expire.
If you somehow earn 100 points, your account is banned.
Most points expire after a certain period of time, ranging from a week to a few months.
A sample of the setup is below:
1 point / 3 months: Ignored Moderator Warning - 1st Offense
2 points / 3 months: Ignored Moderator Warning - 2nd Offense
4 points / 3 months: Ignored Moderator Warning - 3rd Offense
1 point / 1 week: Sniping
1 point / 1 week: Insulted Other Member(s)
1 point / 1 week: Rude Post
1 point / 1 week: Profanity Filter Violation
2 points / Never: Trolling
100 Points / Never: Challenge Post
Right now, infractions are only being issued after an issue is discussed among the staff, and only senior staff can issue them.
Any questions on the system, please ask.
