Team-BHP Warning / Infraction System

[Administrator]

Team-BHP has implemented a comprehensive warning / notification system that will assist the Support Team in maintaining the quality of this community. Your user account will now accumulate points for each offensive post that is against the Team-BHP Rules and Guidelines. We strongly advise new members to get familiar with our board rules.

In the event that a members profile accumulates 10 points, that member will be temporarily banned from Team-BHP (1 month ban). Each infraction point is valid for a period of 45 days, after which the infraction is deleted and your points come back to 0.

• Excessive smilies : 3 points

• SMS / Slang / Poor Readability : 4 points

• Spamming / Excessive one liners : 4 points

• Personal attacks : 4 points

• Posting externally hosted pictures : 4 points

• Plagiarism : 5 points

• Commercial exploitation : 5 points

• Posting classified ads without price / picture : 5 points

• Mention of Alcohol OR Drinking & Driving : 5 points

• Abusive Language : 7 points

• Trolling : 7 points

• Racial / sexual abuse : 10 points

Most infractions will entail a notification PM. Infractions can also be viewed in your own user profile. Repeat offences (of the same nature) will lead to an increment in the infraction points. For e.g., the first plagiarism offence will call for a 5 point infraction. But the second plagiarism offence may account for as much as a 10 point infraction.

In the image above, "Infractions: 0 / 2 (9)" represents :


0 = The number of warnings (Always "0", as we do not use this functionality of the system).

2 = The number of currently active infractions.

9 = Total active infraction points (from all the active infractions combined).


This line under the member's avatar will change or disappear as the member's active infractions increase or expire.
