Warning systemWarnings are things that we will hold against you and can get you banned. Once you have 5 warnings, you will be permanently banned. We will be sure to give you a verbal warning before we give you a warning, so that you are no penalized for not understanding the rules. But once you get a verbal warning, we will not hesitate any more to give you a warning as well. Here are the rules and how many warnings they are worth:
Spam post | 1 warning |
Double Posting | 1 warning |
Necrobumping | 2 warnings |
Disrespectful Behavior | 1-3 warnings |
Racism, sexism, any bad thing that ends with -ism | 3-4 warnings |
Illegal activity | 4-5 warnings |
Flooding | 3 warnings |
Third-party advertising | 3 warnings |
Double Accounts | 1-3 warnings |

Note that this system is updated by the forum moderators
The pm about this system will be sent to the moderators in two daysThe Report SystemWith the addition of the report system comes a level of added responsibility for you guys, the members. Reports take a fair bit of time to go through and assess for moderators and administrators. Because of that, we have to be kind of strong on cases of abuse of it. Will it get you banned if you abuse it once? No. But, there are other kinds of reprimanding that can be handed down in cases of abuse. For example, the privilege of reporting can be revoked for individual members. Hence, I think that a different system of consequences can be set up dealing with abuse of the reporting system. Also, since you cannot "unintentionally" abuse the system, we have to take that into consideration too.
1 abuse- 1 verbal warning.
2 abuses- 1 implemented warning.
3 abuses- 2 implemented warnings and revoking of reporting privileges for 2 weeks.
4 abuses- Two implemented warnings and revoking of reporting privileges for 6 weeks.
5 abuses- Three implemented warnings and revoking of reporting privleges for 18 weeks.
6 abuses- Four implemented warnings and revoking of reporting privleges for 36 weeks.
7 abuses- Immediate ban.
Keep in mind if continued abuse happens, we will disable the system again entirely.
CURRENT SETTINGS:
-Available for all members.
-Ability to report yourself: ENABLED
-Ability to edit reports: DISABLED.

If you do wish to carry out any of these things, you must have approval by an Admin, although most of these have no exceptions.
You will be given a verbal warning before an implemented warning for less-serious infractions (bumping, spam post, double posting, disrespectful behavior, flooding). However, for a more serious infractions (illegal activity, sexism, racism, double accounts), you will not get a verbal warning before an implemented warning.
