5 Infraction Points = Ban Duration is one day.
10 Infraction Points = Ban Duration is three days.
15 Infraction Points = Ban Duration is seven days (one week).
20 Infraction Points = Ban Duration is 2 weeks
30 Infraction Points = Ban Duration is forever.
30 Infractions Total = Ban Duration is forever.The infraction system works per incident, so if you insult two people or the same person twice, you will get 4 infraction points. Your infraction points do expire after a period of time (see above), but the system will know how many total infractions you have gotten, and if you receive 10 total, you will be permbanned from the site.
So looking at the breakdown, it does mean that you could get banned from the site for 24 hours for starting a fight with a fellow member. It goes without saying that it will be based on our discretion to give infractions, completely dependent on the situation. And remember, we can bypass the infraction system and just ban you on the spot if we want.
I think I laid down the basics...if you're not sure about something, ask away. We would hate to ban or give out any infractions at all, so please don't force our hand.
