and here's the copy of warning points:
Warning Points - Offenses That Warrants A Warning

• 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 made this sticky so people can refer at a glance. In ddboard.com there are rules that can't be bent and can't be broken, we do this because our of all the forums you see around, we're the ones who really takes care of people around here and we do our protection from you from scam as well and we stand as referees just in case there's a problem between seller/buyer.

If you have any questions regarding rules/policies and warning points pls. do post them here on this thread. We're ready to answer all of your questions.

P.S. all you have to do if youve seen person violating this, just use the little red button to report and make it private not public

thank u admin,
this warning guide is helpful for fresh members,but i dont get the reputation system?

[weblord]

the reputation is the star icon in your profile it has nothing to do with warning points and/or ddpoints. it's used to establish your reputation on a forum like this but it's not sufficient, combine it as well with the number of days/months you're a member of for people to trust you and conduct business with you.
