Warning & Ban Policy

   1. If a member breaches a minor board rule, they will be issued an alert via Private Message by a staff member. This is not counted toward the official warning count of the member.

   2. If the member continues to breach the SAME Forum Rule, an official Warning will be issued by a Moderator.

   3. Arguing with team members after having received a warning will lead to an immediate additional warning. Should this exceed three warnings a suspension (temporary ban) will be put in place.

       This does include polite reminders in chat. If you've been asked to stop something, you need to stop. You're being reminded for the courtesy of those in the chat. Once the topic is changed, leave the topic alone and move on. If you wish to further discuss, take it to PM with a staff member, but the chat is not the place.

4. Any attempt to circumvent a suspension (temporary ban) will lead to that ban being made permanent.

   5. Members who feel they have been unfairly warned are encouraged to contact an Administrator.

   6. Four warnings within thirty (30) days will constitute an immediate permanent ban, warnings will expire after thirty (30) days.

       Note: This is only for official warnings that get logged in a user’s profile. Depending on the situation, temporary bans for up to a week can and will be issued.


While these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. As such, we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
