Infraction FAQ

Discussion in 'Support & Feedback' started by sizzler_chetan, Nov 10, 2006.

  1. #1
    After the reputation faq, i thought to make a small note about Infractions that would be helpful :)

    There are some points here but i thought that would not be enough for a new member to understand.

    Infraction - It is a kind of warning given to the member for something wrong he/she did in the forum.

    1. What can be the reasons for Infraction?
    - Basically there are few strong reasons including -

    *Running Up Post Count/Post Has No Value
    *Bumping Thread
    *Hijacking Thread
    *Duplicate thread
    *Thread started in Wrong category
    *Inappropriate Language
    *Spamming forums
    *Harassing other forum members.

    2. What kind of posts can be judged as of No Value?
    - Following posts are considered of having no value :
    *Thanks for sharing
    *Rep added
    *Submitted mine, Thanks.

    3. Why should i get a ninfraction for just saying thanks?
    - If u want to give away thanks to any member, you can rep him but posting 2 words as Thanks wouls be considered as "pad post count"
    Also people who copy/paste the same message in Introduction threads can recieve infractions.

    4. Are the infractions that i recieve visible to everyone?
    - No, the infraction you got is visible to you, moderator and the admin.

    5. How can i see the Infractions i recieved?
    - You can see them in your user profile under the signature and also in the userCP just above the "Latest Reputation Recieved" box.

    6. How much dangerous infractions can be?
    - Infractions are given in terms of points. 10 points can lead to a BAN.
    This ban can be permanent or temporary depending on the type of infractions.

    7. Are infractions set to a time or are they permanent?
    - Infractions can be temporary or permanent(Serious conditions). Temporary infractions can be from 10 days to 3 months, and a permanent ban never ends.
    You are banned once u get 10 points of infractions totally and you can get unbanned when they expire.

    8. How many points does each infraction carry?
    - Infractions can be from 0 points to any extent upto 10 i think, 0 usually for thread started in wrong category.

    9. How can i report a post which deserves an infraction?
    - There is a [​IMG] button at the top right of each post by which you can report the post.

    10. Is there a way by which i can reverse an infraction?
    - You can contact any MOD here : http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showgroups.php if you are sure that your post doesn't deserve that infraction.


    ** Also the post for which you got the infraction will have this card if u got an infraction with some points from 1 to 10 : [​IMG] or when u get 0 points infraction it will have [​IMG] beside the multiquote option bar.


    Any other doubt regarding Infractions can be asked here and would be answered promptly by the senior members and MODS.
