Forum Guidelines for Warnings and Suspension of Posting Privileges



These new guidelines are a work-in-progress and we will tune them based member feedback and how they work in practice.



Most of all, we want them to be fair, clear and accountable.



When a warning is given, a note (including a quote of offending post when necessary) from a moderator will be made via the warning system. If you have not already, please read the Warning System FAQ here:



For users with warnings that do not match the new guidelines, they can contact a moderator and we will adjust the warning level to match the new guidelines. Many users have had their posting privileges reinstated on our forums in the last two days.

Note 1: Off topic posts that seek to hijack a thread will either be removed, moved, or merged.

Note 2: Thread titles that are hyperbolic and/or do not reflect the body of the post will be edited by the moderation staff.



**UPDATE**

1.16 violations will first be 20% perma warning, 1 week off. A second violation will be another 20% perma and one month off. A third violation will be 100% warning and 1 year off. After the 1 year, your 100% warning will remain intact, and any further violations will result in a permanent ban on these forums.



1.10 usually carries a 40% warning level and 1-month suspension, in many cases when its a first offence we will issue only 20% warning for 12 months and no suspension, this will be dependant on the offence of course. In an effort to be more transparent and consistent in how forum warnings and posting suspensions are issued, we are starting new guidelines today. We hope that this will remove any mystery on this subject.These new guidelines are a work-in-progress and we will tune them based member feedback and how they work in practice.Most of all, we want them to be fair, clear and accountable.When a warning is given, a note (including a quote of offending post when necessary) from a moderator will be made via the warning system.
