At AcE Forum, We Have A Warning System To Keep Spam And Flaming To A Minimum.
The Warning System Is Simple, If You Break Forum Rules, An Admin Will Issue A Warning To You, The Warning System Is A Points System, And The Admin Is Able To Issue Points In 5 Point Increments.
At 10 Points - Your Account Is Set To Watch Status And Admins Will Keep A Closer Eye On You, You Will Also Have A Green Exclimation Point And The Word Watched In Your Posting Profile For Everyone To See.
At 75 Points - Your Account Is Muted And You Will Not Be Able To Post, You Will Also Have A Red Exclimation Point And The Word Muted In Your Posting Profile For Everyone To See.
When You Are Issued A Warning, You Will Get A PM From The Forum Giving You A Brief Explination On Why You Are Being Warned, How Many Warning Points Where Given, And What Your Current Total Warning Points Are.
If You Are Being Warned For A Post, The Post May Or May Not Be Deleted Or Edited, And The Admin May Decide It Is Approprite To Comment That You Got A Warning For What Was Posted.
Your Warning Points Decress By 1 Point Every 24 Hours Starting 48 Hours After Being Warned.
If Your Warning Points Reach 100, Your Profile Will Be Set To A Banned Member, Wich Means You Can Still Browse The Forum, But You Will Forever Be Unable To Post. Once Banned, Your Warning Points Mean Nothing.
Likewise, (However, Far More Rarely) An Admin Might Decide That What You Did Deserves Warning Points To Be Taken Away, The Process Is The Same As If You Got Points, But You Will Have Less Than Before.
