New Infraction System Info for KIXEYE Forums

Recently, the built in "Infraction System" for the forums has been enabled for moderators and KIXEYE employees to use against those who break rules. This should help mellow down the forums and keep members in check a little better than outright suspensions. It also gives the volunteer mods a little more bite. The goal here is so bans/suspensions don't have to be given out as regular punishment, because no one really wants to be banned and KIXEYE CM's don't really want to ban anybody.

The system works as follows:

Warnings
For most first offenses, warnings will be given to a rule breaker. However, infractions may be given initially depending on the severity of the post. This is for the discretion of the moderators and KIXEYE CM's. Warnings do not count as "points," which will be explained later. They are simply a warning to not do something again. Ignoring a warning will likely earn an infraction, even if the "rule break" is not severe.

Infractions
Infractions are given to posts that are breaking the rules, and each vary in number of points.
This is the list of infractions that are given:

-Inappropriate Language: 1 point This can mean a number of different things. Including, but not limited to: swearing, sexual comments, and slanderous comments. Swearing in excess is the main point here.
-Insulted other Member(s): 1 point This covers a wide range and is quite vague to be honest. Trash-talking in the War Room, Stomp the Yard, and Battleground will be on the more lenient side, but err on the side of caution. Be "civil" about it, as much civility there is in trash-talking.
-Member Spamming: 1 point This covers those who decide to post things repeatedly, spammy or useless posts like "In before lock/delete" or "bumps" and variations of them, or continuing a post or thread after it has been closed or deleted. Again, this is the discretion of the moderators and KIXEYE CM's to give warnings or infractions.
-Signature Rule Violation: 1 point This covers those who post inappropriate things or things that break the rules in their signatures. If an infraction or warning is given for this, it would be wise to quickly change the specified piece. The moderators and KIXEYE CM's will try to point out the piece that is inappropriate.
-Boycott: 2 points Self-explanatory. Anything organized with the intent to protest any KIXEYE games is not allowed and will not be tolerated. This includes "coin blackouts" and anything related.
-Insulting Moderators or KIXEYE Employees: 2 points This one is self explanatory and will likely result in an infraction whether or not it is the first offense. Insulting KIXEYE as a whole would fall under this category.
-Promoting Cheating or Hacking: 2 points Again, self-explanatory, don't do it. Severe instances could result in a permanent ban from KIXEYE forums and possibly KIXEYE games as well.
-Spambot: 3 points This is only used for spambots, obviously. It is a permanent ban and is included here just to be complete.

Infraction Points System
Infractions, not warnings, give points to members. The point values are shown in red italics above. The point system works as follows:

-Points last 10 days, and expire after that time period.
-3 points during a 10 day period will result in a 3 day suspension.

How do I know that I got an Infraction or Warning?
If you have received an infraction/warning you will receive a Personal Message, which can be viewed by clicking the "Inbox" or "Settings" tab at the top right of your screen. This is what warning and infraction messages should relatively look like:
