! | Warning / sanction action course When you break a rule, you will be warned. Warnings expire after 183 days (6 months). If you have 3 warnings on your account at the same time, upon receiving the third warning you will be banned for 1 month, (31 days). Once the 31 day ban expires, your warnings will be removed and you may return as a normal member on the forum. If you offend again, you will go through the same 3 warning system, except the ban upon receiving the third will last for 6 months (178 days). Again, once you return to the forum after this time, your account will have no warnings attached. If you clearly are not getting the message, and continue to offend, you will be warned again. Upon receiving the third warning, you will be permanently banned from the forum. |
! | Admin override Although the above warning system usually applies, the admin team reserves the right to ban / warn / sanction members as they see fit. |
These rules are very easy to follow and if we all follow them the forum will become a much better place. If you have any issues please feel free to PM a moderator or admin.
