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 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 : or when u get 0 points infraction it will have 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.
