i have 1 infraction point and 28 reputation points here is my question . According to forum 10 infractions will disable my sig. link .... ok lets say if i post 10000 posts in a year , ofcourse 10 infraction is very much possibility . because we are human and no human can be perfect .. some of my posts may offend other users or moderator (even if i never wanted to offend anyone) .... so does it mean just 10 infractions and i am over/banned from forum , does not sound fair enough ? What is the advantage of having reputation points ?
Infractions and sigs are not related. No member who made a reasonable effort staying within the wide boundaries we have has ever been banned.
Read the infraction FAQ for details- http://forums.digitalpoint.com/faq.php?faq=dp_faq#faq_infractions
If you post 10K posts there's a higher possibility you become a mod than be banned, besides I think the bans aren't permanent and you can alway get in again (you just need to know the right people to bribe )
I am here since Dec 2004, have less posts relatively but never received any infractions. Infact i got to know about infractions a few days ago
Mods are chosen from people who are higher up like the admin shawn himself. Shawn is God! - "Yes I'm Ass kissing"
Realy, how long does it take. I done some thing 4 times I didnt know I wasnt supposed to do now I have 4 infractions How long until my infractions go away? Grrr, I never even got a detention when I was at school!
Varies from a few eeks to 6 months for the more hefty violations like spamming. I think it says in your profile anyway.
Yes you are right, phew its only one month for this one. I dont think my violation was in the rules. But I think it was still a valid slap on the wrists
To get them, I've had to BEG for them!! When it comes to infractions, I'll bet Shawn and da mods wished every one was just like me. *ducks* Where the only time people got infractions were when people BEGED to get them. For example, here are the two posts that gave me them...

Just follow the rules and you wont get any infractions. I, myself dont have a single infraction history, not even Yellow flags (waning). As far as Nintendo is concerned, he begged for infraction in every related thread and finally got one.
