Hi guys (and gals)
Just to let you know that we have now introduced INFRACTIONS to the forum.
If you are a member of any other forum that uses the system then it will need no introduction....
An Infraction is defined as, 'a violation or infringement of a law or agreement' - In this case our Forum rules (https://www.thctalk.com/cannabis-forum/faq.php)
We all know what will get you an instant ban (think kitchens, class A & cash cropping!), but more & more we are seeing posts that are breaking our, 'single warning & etiquette rules' - we need a simple way of dealing with this (without being heavy handed!)
So we have introduced an Infraction points system...
At present, we have four categories of Infraction:-
Posting Links
Insulting other members
Inappropriate post/language
...and a 'catch all' - Other...
----
Posting links - 1 point, 30 day expiry
Other - 1 point, 30 day expiry
Insulted Other Member(s) - 2 points, 60 day expiry
Inappropriate post / Language - 2 points, 60 day expiry
All the infractions are 'extended' so if some one, say, posts a link & they receive an infraction then it lasts for 30 days. If they post another link within that 30 day period then the infraction is 30 days & the remainder of the original 30 day infraction...
Example:-
John Doe posts a link & receives an infraction & then 10 days later they post another link that receives an infraction then original infraction receives 1 point, the second infraction raises it to 2 points and the 2 point infraction then lasts 50 days (30 days for the first (minus the 10 days served) plus the new 30 days equaling 50)
Should a user gain 3 infraction points then an automatic 3 days restricted use of the forum is automatically issued by the system
Should a user gain 5 infraction points then an automatic 3 day ban is automatically issued by the system
(Infractions are wiped from the members record once they expire)
