First, let me state, this post is just a FYI. It is not indicative of any changes in attitude at this site. No one has been banned from here since Jim Drago took over and as you will see, no one should ever get permanently banned thanks to this WARN system that has always been on but never actually set up.
This forum has a way for moderators to "WARN" users if they are stepping over a line. We really only have two lines. Conduct and Spam.
If a member were to violate either the spam or conduct clause of our user agreement, a moderator would come along and click "WARN". The moderator will have two choices; SPAM or CONDUCT
REASONS
SPAM awards you 2pts
CONDUCT awards you 1pt
The points are automatically retracted 30 days later, so having a moment isn't going to penalize you at all. As a matter of fact you can have several moments before things get a bit more rigid.
ACTIONS
1pt - no action, user notified and an indicator is shown below their name. (name & shame?)
2pts - All posts for the next 5 hours require a moderator to approve them.
3pts - All posts for the next 3 DAYS require a moderator to approve them
4pts - Posting privileges are suspended for 7 Days. (Cool Off/Don't Spam Me BRO!)
5pts - 30 DAY Suspension
After 30days your points are reset to zero and the account is unlocked.

Thanks!
