Warning Points - Offenses That Warrants A Warning

[weblord]

We as mods have copy of the offenses and the amount of warning one needs to receive. http://www.ddboard.com/forum/4367-post1.html

I think this is good to share with everybody as well for your information:

List of offenses:

• Wrong Forum : 2 warning points
• Affiliate Linking : 3 warning points
• Forum Etiquette: 4 warning points
• Spaming : 5 warning points
• Begging: 5 warning points
• Rudeness: 5 warning points
• PM Spaming: 6 warning points
• Duplicate Account: 7 warning points
• Illegal Activity (fraud, pirated software, etc.): 10 warning points
• Other offenses: per moderator discretion

Notes:

• Warning points are completely independent from ddPoints.
• Warning points are completely independent from user reputation.
• Warning points are completely independent from thread ratings.

Total of 20 points:
Once you accumulate 20 points you will be banned automatically, all warning points issued have min. of 2 months expiration and if escalated to abuse to admin, anyone can be banned permanently. So the bottom line here is avoid getting warning points. If in doubt, PM the mods, they're all available to help you.

I can still see people with violations, i won't tell who they are, pls. be informed of this thread.

Other offenses: per moderator discretion

Sometimes, we can ban you without prior notice... so, take care about your acts.

We do ban without prior notice or without pm's as well when you're posting nokia cellphones for sale on webhosting or post it like 3 times, that's automatic permanent ban and we do monitor ip addresses so even if you signup 5 times on same ip, it will only be banned 5 times as well and your ddpoints forfeited and all your posts removed, as if you've never existed.

But we dont divulge information re: the banned user to give them dignity. we don't talk about it in the public forum but only in our moderator's forum on how we deal with spammers/abusers.

So have a good day and we enjoy taking care of ddboard.com good members.

How many points would backseat moderation get? Does it come under forum etiquette?

[weblord]

yes it does for now, until it's rampant
I hope this will avoid it.
