Infraction is a way of warning you and telling you that you have done something wrong. These can either just give you a simple warning or even get you banned from our forum. So please read the whole thread in avoiding some dificulties.

Below are a list of the different types of infractions, the points given, and end results.

Insulted/Attack other members -- This Means when you just go and insult other members on this forum or put out a personal attack publically against another member. This is against forum rules. This will earn you 1 infraction point and will expire 30 days after receipt.

Signature Rule Violation -- We have some sig rules already and more will be added - You cannot have more than 3 images and more than 4 links in your profile. If you are caught you will be given an infraction and we will forcefully change your sig. This will earn you 1 infraction point that will last 30 days.

Inappropriate Language -- Although we will let some words pass but continious vulger language will earn you 1 infraction point that will last for 30 days. So just think before you say anything in this forum. Don't let anger control you.

Running up Post count/Post has no value -- these goes for people that love to run up their post count by saying just "Thanks" or "LOL" or etc. Please if you have nothing good to say, dont say anything at all. This is against forum rules. You will earn 1 Infraction point that will last 30 days.

Thread started in Wrong Category -- We have the rule that says "TRY TO POST IN THE MOST APPROPRIATE CATEGORY" - means if you post your websites into the forum talk or post anything section in hopes of advertising, we will give you an infraction. This again is just 1 infraction point that lasts 30 days.

Spammed Advertisements -- We HATE SPAM. We have the rule that you MAY NOT post any link in this forum until you have 10 full posts. If you post spam all over the board you will get multiple infractions. This infraction will earn you 2 infraction points that will last 60 days.

Posting Illegal Content -- this means posting links to porn, warez, torrents, or any other illegal websites. We do not like this. This also counts for posting anything that can get this forum in legal issues. When you get this infraction, it is most likely you will get the spammed advertisement infraction as well. This infraction will earn you 4 infraction points and it will last 90 days.

Pornography Advertisement -- this is completely banned. If you wish to post anything like this, don't. This is highly illegal on our forum. This will earn you 5 infraction points that lasts 90 days. And if you post this, you will also earn posting illegal content infraction with an extra 4 points. Don't try this.

That's it for now and more will be added soon. Please know this, when you receive 10 infraction points, you will be banned from our forum for 30 days minimum. You can check your infractions in your usercp.

Mod's have the option of making the infraction into a warning and not assign any points. This is completely up for the moderator to decide what to do. Yellow means warning, red means the real infraction.

If you receive an infraction and dont like it, don't create a thread arguing it, it'll just give us another reason to give you another infraction. We will count threads like this as spam threads.

If you have questions or concerns, please ask here or make a thread in the questions/suggestions board.

Thank you!

As with reputation, there are infractions. Users cannot give infractions, but the staff can.

Infractions are given for bad behavior, spam, and stuff in that range. As with reputation, you can go to your usercp and see what your recent infraction was, and how many infractions you have.

I do not know what it is set to on G-F, but on other forums, it is after 10 infractions, you are banned for a week. LiNuX can post or edit this to make it correct.

We probably won't be too harsh the first few times, but if we have to move your threads constantly, or delete posts that we think are spam, a infraction will be given.

Well, I think I covered it all. LiNuX can post if I didn't :-P
