Hello! They are applied if a user makes an infraction against the site's terms:
Warning Points
If a Member is found to be in Violation of these Terms and Rules, a Warning may be issued. Here is how that works:
- Warnings will normally contain points, known as "Warning Points", along with an expiration date for those points associated with that Warning.
- Warnings typically last for 30 days. However, that duration can be shorter or longer, depending upon your Post and Warning Histories as well as the severity of the infraction.
- Warning Points are cumulative. That means if you receive more than one Warning, additional Warning Points will add up.
- A total of 60 Warning Points is required before your account is suspended. This may result in a temporary or permanent ban, depending upon the nature of and severity of the infraction(s).
- If you are banned temporarily, then your account will become available again upon the expiration of Warning Points that reduce your current total points below 60.
It is the responsibility of the Members to familiarize themselves with these Terms and Rules.
Ignorance of these rules is not a viable consideration or defense to a Warning being received. Listed after each of the LPSG rules below, is the normal amount of points assigned for each infraction. They may be increased or decreased based on the nature and severity of the infraction.
