Where there are rules, there must be consequences, or else nobody would ever follow the rules. We've got a warning system here, but depending on the severity of the offense and possibly the admins' moods, some steps may be skipped, and the warning system may be skipped altogether in some situations.
[/li][li]Second Offense:[/b][/i] The second warning will not be as friendly, especially considering the extent of the problem or which rule is being broken. This warning will include the steps that must be taken to avoid a third offense, and a reminder of what will happen if a third offense is committed.
[/li][li]Third Offense:[/b][/i] The third offense will result in banishment from the site for one week (7 days starting the day after the offense), and an email warning about what not to do upon return. Though I'm so very sure that all of our members will cease their unacceptable behavior at this point, upon return from the ban period, we will be watching you.
[/li][li]Fourth Offense:[/b][/i] If, upon return from banishment, an offense is repeated, the member will be banned permanently from the site, no questions asked, no warning given. You will not be emailed to explain what you did, and you will not be given a fifth chance.
[/li][/ul]
**For it to get to the point of total banishment, you'd have to be doing something really bad, for a long time. We're not going to ban someone for swearing too much or having shorter than average posts; banning members will only come along if someone is being truly offensive, picking on other members, or godmodding all over the place like crazy. Still, obey the less important rules, too, okay? ^.^
