I talked to PJK and we added an infraction system to the forum. Basically, a moderator can give a user an infraction for various offenses (even custom ones). Each infraction is valued at a specific point number and has an expiration date. Right now, its set up that if you get 5 infractions, you receive an automatic 1 day ban. 10 gets you a 5 day ban. We will be editing this accordingly.


--moderators:--

if you haven't noticed, there is a yellow/red card symbol underneath usernames now. That is how you go and give infractions. (lolsoccer :p)
 
1. Can any member see how many infractions they have themselves?
2. Can any member see how many infraction others have?
3. Do infraction points "heal" away after a set period of time?

P.S.

Sneaky, Brunson. I suppose moderators have the ability to change anyone's title to anything? Your title is "member", but I assume you still actually have all the powers of a super moderator? And why does blade740 have a special title despite not being a moderator? PJK has another account that he never used? Congrats to Dan for being promoted to administrator?

Not necessarily. Many new people don't realize that this forum has as lot going on in it, and a lot of questions have already been asked. Especially people who've never used a forum before, some barely know how to do anything.

If a new person asks a question that has been asked many times before, just tell them their problem and they probably (hopefully) won't do it again. That's just how people are, you can't really blame them for that.

If it's a person who's been here a long time then that's another story.

yes it would be very disheartening and discourage to a new member if this happened. Some people take discipline very personal, and they may not return even though in the future they could contribute very positively to the site.

1. Whenever an infraction is issued, the user gets a PM or e-mail.
2. Not sure. Doubt it though
3. Yes, each infraction comes with an expiration time. the standard is 10 days or so.

About the user titles, I was thinking of adding more features to premium members, one of them being custom user titles and username changes. Also, thanks, I am an admin now. I'm going to try and take some of my free time and help PJK out with some forum changes.
 
The more I think about it, the more I like it. It implements warnings when before the only punishment was a ban. It also provides communication among the mods so they can see when other warnings were issued and provides a record of past infractions. The point system also allows a mod to give different weightings to different offenses.

I'm a fan.
 
Personally I don't think he deserves an infraction. He's simply asking questions and we're providing answers.

And to the infraction system, it's a step forward in making this forum into a respectable place once again.

So you don't actually know for sure? Also, the standard? Does this mean you could have different lengths for different offenses?
