Announcing Our New Infraction System
 

Because of recent increases in spam activity and personal attacks between members, effective immediately T4R.org is implementing an infractions system. Our goal is to make it easier for everyone to have a good time by enforcing the policies and rules of the board.

The system uses points and the number of infractions. The infractions will be issued by the Infractions ID that all Admins and Moderators have access to.

Points will use the following scale:

1. Whining 2 points
2. Personal Attacks 5 points for all parties involved
3. Posts For the Purpose of Instigating Flame Wars 10 points to poster and all respondents that "egg on" the flame war
4. Rated X, R, or NC-17 Content 25 points
5. Solicitations from Businesses without Prior Permission 10 points
6. Pics unrelated to the T4R or excessive pic posting 2 points
7. Multiple Registrations 25 points for all IDs
8. Multiple postings 3 points per duplicate post
9. Post whoring 5 points
10. Creepy or gigantic sigs 3 points
11. Links / Discussion / Promotion of Illegal Activities 25 points
12. Posting in SPAM Threads 5 points
13. Spam 25 points

Points and each infraction remain effective for 60 days from the date of the infraction. There is one exception: 25-point infractions are permanent.

A combination of points and multiple infractions will trigger automatic bans of varying lengths.

* 5 points or two infractions triggers a two-day ban.
* 10 points or three infractions is a seven-day ban
* 25 points or four infractions is a permanent ban.

If a user violates multiple rules in a single post, then the highest point value will be applied. The system does not allow stacking of violations within one post.

This system will help the Admins and Moderators to more easily enforce the rules so we all have a good time and keep the site family-friendly. This system does not remove the discretion of the Moderators and Admins to take action without using the Infractions system and ID.

Thank you for your continued support of T4R.org!
