How the Warnings system works

[Cerberus1]

Below is a brief outline on how the warnings system works on the forum:

(Our forum guidelines can be found at https://www.pomsinoz.com/guidelines/)

 

Warnings

Warnings are generally issued for the following reasons:

 

1) Breach of forum rules governing moderator action. The default behavior for this is 2 points which will expire after 60 days.

2) Spamming. The default behavior for this is 15 points which will never expire.

3) Unauthorised advertising. The default behavior for this is 1 points which will expire after 30 days.

4) Inappropriate language. The default behavior for this is 1 points which will expire after 30 days.

5) Abusive behaviour. The default behavior for this is 2 points which will expire after 60 days.

6) Other. For all other breaches of forum rules not covered by the above. The default behavior and expiry is variable.

N.B. The above are 'default' settings and moderators or admin may vary them if deemed appropriate/necessary.

When a member reaches a certain number of points, restrictions will apply to their account as detailed below.

N.B. Once issued with a warning, a member must 'acknowledge' the issued warnings before they can post again. The member will see a message on every page: Viewing the warning details will have a button allowing the member to acknowledge the warning.

The warning will appear in a large red box on every page. (as pictured below)

 

Clicking on 'View Warning Details' will bring up a dialogue box as shown below, where the warning can be 'acknowledged'
