I have had enough of some of the language and general carry on from some members, it drives down membership and stop access to the forums for the next generation of users, as well as appearing like SPAM in the user system.
So from now one moderators and admins instead of simply editing your posts will warn you first which will carry 2 points. If you are warned again anytime after that you immediately get 10 points for an infringement.
Your warning points gather to a collective of points. But each individual warning expires after 1 month.
The consequences are, if you reach 15 points you will losing posting privileges for 12 hours, and this goes all the way up in different increments, where you will lose posting privileges for a week or more, if you carry on enough, and get 100 points, you will be automatically banned from the site, though I know it won't come to that for anyone.
I want everyone to enjoy the site and to be able to read it without all the carry on and hopefully the warnings are taken seriously.
I will be instructing the moderators on this shortly.
