Your lucky it was only a month

The next ban is a permanent... you and a few others are sailing close to the wind

A reminder to some members to think on before posting as you have all had previous warnings.. we don't just ban people for the fun of it

Some mods are already asking for permanent bans to be enforced against a few members not heeding warnings

 

Well your back now.. and all is good in the world

 

Just to clarify, you weren't banned for a single post. You accumulated enough warning points to automatically trigger a one month ban. When you are warned, a number of warning points are given depending on the severity of the offence. Continually breaking the rules means that you get more and more points, gong over the threshold for points will trigger an automatic ban. Essentially, multiple minor indiscretions will eventually result in a ban, which is what happened in your case.

 

Dude its Saturday night ... it's time to drink beer

As Stork said the warning points system used is down the moderator and works like a driving points system where you get to so many and you trigger a ban - but is not set in stone and is flexible

Usually the moderator will message or edit a users post a few times before they start to dish out warnings , Unless its spam or really abusive then its an instant ban

The first warning no points are issued , Its a gentle reminder to behave

Issuing a second warning the user will receive 1 to 2 points

if the user receives 5 points they trigger a 1 month ban

if the user receives 10 points - they will receive a permanent ban

Points last so long then you have a clean licence again


Moderators have the option of issuing various temporary bans

This is where a poster continually causes aggravation despite having multiple posts deleted , but is not bad enough for a permanent ban yet

Longer bans are discussed first between the mods
