SITE RULES...
...or more accurately, site rules violations as they appear in the infractions system:
-Abusive towards other members (1 pt.) -Inappropriate advertising (1 pt.) -Profanity (2 pts.) -Antagonism toward moderators (4 pts.) -Racist/Prejudicial remarks (4 pts.) -Actual or implied threats (5 pts.) Cumulative penalties: 10 pts.: Immediate 3-day ban 20 pts.: 1-month ban 30 pts.: Permanent ban 30 pts. (Spamming): Immediate permanent ban ___________________________ I'm going to sticky this here, in "New Members," and in "Gen. Chit-Chat." I'll leave this one open for serious discussion. I'll delete non-serious posts. Save your comedy for other threads. |
How long are the points good for? Yearly or lifetime?
|
Just wondering... after some time (of good behavior) are the points drop or do you have them for life???
|
Sorry meant to add this...is there a way to find out how many points we have so far???
|
1. I really don't know when the points drop off. But the mods aren't restricted to the system, so if a member creates enough difficulty, they'll probably be booted anyway. I don't advise testing it.
2. I can see infractions in user profiles, but I don't know if you can. Responsible members won't need to worry. |
When I got mine, twice x 2pts = 4 total for profanity, I think Susan said they lasted for a year. (Implied, but clearly implied profanity.) There is an "Infractions" tab on my Profile page. I can see them. I just assumed everyone else could, too.
They are also just above my rep points on my "User CP" page. By the way, that was back in March and April, when I was still pretty new. It hurt and was embarrassing, but I deserved them. I learned to behave more appropriately. This is the first and only forum I have ever been in, so I have been clumsier than most in learning forum etiquette. |
Does using punctuation characters instead of letters count as profanity? I don't want to run afoul of that rule unintentionally & prefer to do something like t&^s rather than spell out the work.

This presents another point. Don't expect consistency in enforcement of site rules. Susan and I are not required to deal with all potential problems in the same way. If you run afoul of her in an area that I seemed to be tolerant, tough feces. And vice versa, of course. |

I also see mine in the User CP section ... I got mine for making a witty comment, no profanity or anything.... It says abusive to another member.... Which on reflection, it was... I still think it was funny though...... But I won't be doing it again... LOL |
