The infraction system is a way to alert members who are not following the posting guidelines found in the FAQ/Rules area. Users that violate these guideline either receive a warning (yellow card) or an infraction (red card). Warnings carry no point value, infractions carry a point value based on severity of the infraction. If an old user receives 10 infraction points he/she is banned for a period of time. Each warning or infraction has an associated time period associated with it. Say I received a warning today that was in effect for three months, after three months the warning would be removed from my record. Only habitual violators of the posting guidelines have anything about which to worry. Users can view what warning/infraction history when they they view their profile. Only admins, mods, and the individual involved can view the infractions.
oh 10 points and we get banned, thanks for info. Crazy_Rob thanks for comments, can you guide to those posts which might get me more infractions ? (to avoid the same in future) Thank you.
Just don't go too crazy w/ the "welcome to DP " , "submitted thx!" and "sent you PM" type posts. It makes us think your spamming the links in your signature. Thanks.
which u usually do {j/k} BTW i too have a couple of infracs and they are cool guys dont worry and get panic when u get em. Just forget that and try to achive more
Those yellow cards are just warnings, not actually infraction, the ones that would matter would be RED.
thanks crazy_rob, amit and sumit I received an infraction in yellow, are these infractions given my DP members (-ve reputation points) or given by DP Staffers ? Thanks for helping so far.
I`m trying and i think i`ll reach the limit soon, if i get them like this. I have 4 active and one expired
