Per the advice of Nintendo, I have decided to create an Infraction FAQ Shawn's Summary of the Infraction System: There isn't a specific list. The list of infractions is fluid... the number of points each is worth varies, the time each one lasts varies and the number of points needed to earn a ban also varies by user, so it's not really something that can be defined. "Normal" users would be banned at 10 "active" points. Currently, there are four major threads discussing infractions: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=97160 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=96930 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=97675 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=98724 Here is a summary of the main questions asked in these threads: How many infraction points does it take to get banned? According to a post by Shawn, "10 infraction points = ban for any user, some users it would take less." What is the lifespan of an infraction point? According to a post by Shawn, "Infraction points expire, so once the oldest ones have expired enough to bring you into the realm of not being banned, it's lifted." Where do infraction points appear? In the upper right hand corner of your posts and in your UserCP. Who can see your infraction points? Yourself, mods and admins. When did DP create the infraction system? June 8th, 2006 Why did I receive an infraction? Reasons may include (but not limited to): Duplicate thread Bumping own thread Bump really old thread Thread hijack Start thread in wrong forum Getting a post reported to a mod Excessive posts in the Introduction area How do mods give an infraction? According to sarahk, "Once a mod decides to give an infraction they can only choose the type of infraction and then to a) give a yellow card warning (0 points) or b) give a red card infraction." For more on the infraction system, Shawn recommended this in a post: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1137312#post1137312

One question not in the FAQ... How many infraction points do I have to earn to get a spanking from Vicious Summer?
VS is feeling sick right now so I am taking her place... joey, where can we meet so we can get this spanking issue finished?
Now i Understand why i got a yellow! I have no idea i did not even check the date for the Thread. Personally i think old Tread is good and you should get an warning to open a new one with out looking for an old one first. There is so many new once with the same same story. Personally i did not mean anything with it i have already 187 thread that i subscribe and i do not need anymore. But i have a loads of emails from paypal so i thought my info should be useful. Can anyone answer what is the past date for a tread so i know next time then?
dont need to be sticky - i found it with the useful "search feature" located top right!! (people couldn#t find the search and post "whats and infraction"?! - they get one right?!) Notting
