Hi there, I was reading the forum rules regarding infractions, and I have a few questions that I was hoping could get some answers.
The way I understood it, when one breaks a rule, they get an infraction, they're worth certain points depending on the severity of the rule broken (linking porn isn't as severe as insulting someone for example) and once you accrue 15 points, you get a ban. So far so good.
Here are my questions though:
Question number 1: Is there a chart for users to know how much each infraction is worth? Which ones result in something minor like 5 points and which ones result in something big like 20 points?
Another thing that the forum rules page regarding infractions (http://www.mmo-champion.com/faq.php?...es_infractions) doesn't explain very well the length of some infractions. Most seem to last 30 days, but in the example given on that page, one can get 90 day ones for more serious breaches.
So here is question number 2: Upon receiving a ban, future infractions, no matter how minor will always last 90 days instead of 30?
Question number 3: Ban duration. The faq doesn't really explains it well. Uppon reaching the 15 point threshold, one gets a 3 day ban. Get banned again and its 1 week? get banned again and its 2 weeks? how exactly the increment works? is there a limit to this increment? can a user actually be perma-banned?
Question Number 4: This one is also a suggestion, thrown into the mix. When we get an infraction for breaking a rule, why can't we see how long it will last? I dunno, I feel like it would help to know which ones are permanent, and how big the ones we're getting are. Just a teensy suggestion.
Thanks for your time, for whoever reads this.
