I have 3 at the moment. Two were for starting a thread in the wrong category. I mean, there are so many categories and some could easily be used for dual purposes. Anyhow, it's not like a death sentence. I'll live!
yellow card infractions - warnings - carry 0 points, you can have an unlimited number of them red card infractions carry a variable number of points. Get to a total of 10 and it's game over. However infractions can be permanent or expiring so once they expire they don't count. New users have a different maximum, spam once, get a red spam infraction and you're out. Established members get to spam twice unless the mod is feeling really keen and then they can ban you the old fashioned way!
Aw I have 8. That means 2 more an I'm out? Some of them have expirys. Does that mean if they expire even if I'm banned I will be unbanned?
That depends on the severity of the offense/offenses committed. If you receive ten infraction points via the infraction system, have not gone wild to get that last infraction, and do nothing else, you will be allowed back in at a later date. Getting banned via the infraction system generally results in only a temporary ban. With eight infraction points in your portfolio at this time, I suggest you be very careful of what you post and make sure you do not commit any of your prior offenses again.
yeah I got most of the infractions when I was new here. Didnt know many rules... and such. I think i got my first 5 in like the first day.
How we can recover our Infractions? If not then a rule is needed here to recover our infractions. Becoz infraction is recieved mostly by new user. which don't know more about posting rules. I have 2 infraction with 2 points and 1 reputation with 20 points.
There is an expiry time given in userCP and a few times u get a serious infraction which do not expire. Now dont go to every infraction thread and make yourself get one more infraction.
That's not a good excuse. The Rules are there to be read by anyone who is interested in a pleasant stay here. The opposite is more true probably, newbies should proactively take the half hour effort of familiarizing themself with the FAQ, Rules and Search function. Infractions expire over time, anywhere between 30 days and 6 months. So all you have to do is remain within the wide boundaries we have here for 6 months and you're back at 0.
I never new this forum had infractions until I read this thread! And now that I looked I was infractions once ... for something I will not repeat here because of people's stupidity and baisism... but they put in under trying to up my post count... which I don't even care about! Then I didn't know about Reputation on this site until I read another thread on a different forum talking about how they hate the way DP does Reputation...
