New Infraction System

With the new software comes the option of instituting an "Infraction System" to assist with moderating the forums as well as keep track of users who abuse the rules we have set in place to make the forums an enjoyable place for all to visit.

If a moderator or admin sees that you have violated the rules, they may give you an infraction. Each infraction is graded on a point system (kinda like how "moving violations" work :wink:).

Here are the infractions we have created and their point value:

Insulted Other Member(s) 1
Signature Rule Violation 1
Inappropriate Language 1
Abuse Rep System 1
Abuse iTrader System 2
Severe Belligerence 3
Spammed Advertisements 5

We also may add additional infractions at any given time (check this thread for updates).

Each mod/admin can also create an infraction (and point weight) if a preset one is not applicable for any scenario. Also, (just like any good police officer) a mod or admin may elect to only give you a warning (an infraction with no point value). This is entirely up to the mod or admin and will be based on past actions by the member in question.

You will automatically be notified of any infraction by PM. Included in the PM will be the infraction and reason it was given to you.

Each infraction expires after a month. The point accumulated for the infraction will be subtracted from a member's total.

Any user that accumulates 10 points will automatically be banned (not necessarily permanently, but each judged case by case).

Thank you!

So are temp sig changes aloud, for say advertise for LXOM, or do I need to reduce mine.

Please if I am wrong, don't vote me off the Island, can I just get a warning.
We are not going to measure anyone's sigs to see if it falls "exactly" into the signature rules we have set...however, your signature definitely falls outside the boundaries we are looking for. It's HUGE!!!

It would be appreciated if you resized it down a bit. Thanks!

The monthly LXOM signature thing is fine, but try and keep it reasonable.

OK, let's cut to the chase....how much do points cost? How much to pay to get my "fines" removed? Hmmmmm? Maybe if I buy tickets to the LXForums ball? Hmmmm???

I heard that it is not the size of the sig, but the statement it makes that counts:wink:

Heh.... Searching iTrader here and this popped up!?

Anyway, is iTrader broken? Keeps giving me the "Site Deal URL Invalid" reply for trying to submit feedback for someone. I know it was a valid Deal Thread and it's still active, not closed...?
