If you see someone breaking one of these rules, please use the report feature to alert us to the problem. Do not attempt to deal with it on your own.

Warnings

We use the built in warning system for all rule breaking. The first time you break a specific rule you will be given 0 points, and all times after you will be given 1 point. If, however, the rule broken is more severe, we may issue 5 points right away.

0 points - Just a heads up that you broke a rule. It is also used for documentation purposes.
1-2 points - Simple warnings helping you to remember our rules.
3 points - All of your posts will be hidden until a moderator approves your content. This lasts for 14 days.
4 points - You are unable to create new content for 14 days. For the following 16 days, all of your posts will be hidden until a moderator approves your content.
5 points - You will be permanently banned from the forums.

All points expire 30 days after earning them, but the offenses will remain on record.
