If a member breaks any of the rules, they could be issued a warning. If it is the first time a person breaks the rules and they didn't mean to, they will get a PM detailing what was wrong and asking them to not do it again instead of a warning.
If the behaviour keeps continuing or the breach of rules was too severe (eg extremely agressive behaviour or spaming), they will be issued with a warning. We have 3 warnings and after those three warnings that person will be banned.
When a warning is issued, the admin or mod will PM you detailing why the warning was given. If you feel the warning was unfair then please PM me. I will have the final say in the matter. After a week, the warning will be taken off and you will be PM'd to let you know this has happened.
A ban will occur if a person gets 3 warnings or if you do something which is such a breach of the rules that I cannot have you on the forum. Only admins can ban people.
