Warning Policy

[Dillon]

WARNING POLICY

• A first violation of forum rules will result in a warning.
• Subsequent violations will result in additional warnings.
• If a member receives more than three warnings, the said member shall be banned from the forum site for one week
• If any violation should occur after the first ban, a second ban will be executed and will last for one month

• A violation occurring after the second ban, will be the consequence of a third, final, and permanent ban

   If banned, DO NOT register a new account. This violates the ban and forum policy. You will be found and will be dealt with.

• Accounts with permanent bans will remain visible on the site. Posts and profiles will not be deleted.

• First and second offense violations will be removed after one year has passed since the date of the second violation
  (If only one violation occurs, that violation will be removed after one year has passed since the violation date)
  (If a violation occurs after initial violations have been removed, the violation will be considered a first offense)
• If a third violation is reached (without the first two offenses being removed), all violations will be permanent
  
  

• If a member feels as if they have been wrongfully punished, said member may dispute the claim
• Warnings may be disputed by following the Dispute System procedure
• Violation disputes will be resolved by an administrator and dealt with accordingly

• Any member is permitted to report any member or post if they see it as obscene, inappropriate, and violating of forum rules
• Any staff member is granted permission to issue warnings to reports they see as fit as violating forum rules
• Details of issued warnings shall be kept secret by staff; details pertaining to bans may be made public

   All warnings and bans will be viewable on a member's profile. Don't violate forum rules or policies, or else you will do the time and wear the shame.


   Warnings will be displayed on profiles as follows:

1 Warning:	
2 Warnings:	
