(Moving this to a post because the yellow notices seem to be misbehaving.)

Infractions System Update
The Infractions System isn't new around here, but it hasn't been getting used. I hope that will change.

Q: What is the Infractions System?
A: A way for staff to issue formal warnings for pre-defined infraction types.

Q: Who can give infractions?
A: Administrators and Moderators. You can find out who they are here: http://www.nestreetriders.com/forum/showgroups.php

Q: What impact do infractions have on users that receive them?
A: 3 infractions in 180 days = permanent ban. More details below.

Infraction types:
Being A Dick - this is subjective and that's too bad, for you.
Unapproved Advertising
Disrupting For Sale/Wanted threads
[to be implemented if necessary] Abusing the Report Post feature.

Infraction expiration:
Each infraction will expire after 180 days, unless subsequent infractions are received and then you're at 180 days again.

Banning:
If you accumulate 3 infractions, you'll be automatically banned forever.

Previously this included a few other infraction types, a 7-day temp ban before the permanent ban, and the expiration for infractions was 30 days.

I did start setting up a joke super-duper-mod group just for you, but then I remembered how absolutely terrible the usergroup management is in vBulletin and I immediately gave up. I'm weak. Sorry.

I'm requesting that these "infractions" be renamed "street cred".

Well ya gotta show off your Street Cred, or whats the point, right?

Infraction expiration:
Each infraction will expire after 180 days, unless subsequent infractions are received and then you're at 180 days again.

Banning:
If you accumulate 3 infractions, you'll be automatically banned forever.

during the offenders 180 day infraction period, could we get a "counter" next to the user name on all posts:

FriskyDingo = 1 infraction, and so on....

If someone has to tell you they got street cred, they ain't got none.
