Infractions

Okay, so what are infractions and what do people do to get them? I've noticed that some users have "Infractions 1/0" or something like that?

Usually means someone let a cuss word slip or linked to something they shouldn't have. They are other things but those are usually it. They go away after 6 months if they've been good.

Thats what I figured. Thanks Mason.

Except in cases of extreme rule-breaking...members first get a zero-point warning before they actually earn any points for infractions. You can get a warning for a minor rule issue like using a curse word or calling someone a name. And you can get a warning for putting up advertising in the wrong place on the site. Once you've been warned, if you break the rules again, you start earning points.

The first number shows how many warnings a person has...the second shows how many infractions. And if they have actual infractions, then there will be a third number in parentheses that tells how many points they have built up.

1/2 (4) --- Tells me that person has had one zero-point warning, two infractions and a total of four points.

i got my warning for swearing and i'm proud of it http://www.lilwaynehq.com/forums/ima...lies/drake.gif

I got one of my warnings for asking if there were fellow mouse/rat breeder in the Geographic section instead of the for/sale section...

Wouldn't "1/2" be a fraction, not a INfraction? :D

in that case i have an improper-fraction

Hardee har har. :P

I've received three infractions..

all of them we're honest mistakes..

1. I was looking for ASF breeders in the GTA and I posted in the feeder section instead of the FOR SALE section.

2. I censored my own "foul language," instead of letting the auto censor do it for me. I was accused of trying to beat the auto censorship.. I meant to follow the rules but..

3. I posted an ad for a Leopard Gecko that I was/am trying to find a new home for. I bought the gecko off of my buddy but I copied and pasted my old Kijiji add which said I was trying to sell it for a friend. I received 5 points for this infraction.

The point of infractions is to maintain order, uniformity, organization and respect in the forums. I agree with them and appreciate them. It sucks when you get them though.. And people tend to take you less seriously when you have infractions.. :(

Technically it's not even a fraction, it's undefined. ;]

Does bringing the fact up of still trying to find the gecko a new home on this thread count as an infraction? ;)

I have one because I used symbols for a cuss word. I hate it. Keep wishing it would go away hint, hint. I've been good.

I just finished reading this, and right after received an infraction. I was confused with the pm title for a second. I thought it was a notification about this thread. :oops:

LOL! what was your infraction about??

Nothing too terrible, just a dumb idea, and a dumb thing to say.
:gj:

Edit:

The statement in question was against scammers, but I spoke out of line.

You guys made my night.:rofl:

I do what I can :P

Ummm,

No you don't - it expired months ago. :P

If you look under your name in your posts you will see there is nothing listed down the bottom. If you hadn't mentioned it nobody would have known a thing about it. :cool:


dr del

Dr del wishes he was cool and in the infraction club. ;)

You guys are killing me :rofl:

Well shucks, looks like we have to share our punch with you then.

I have one is there any way to get it away? I wrote a cuss word and wasn't thinking and apologized for it anything you can do for me?

Lance

We all make mistakes :P.

I had a warning and infraction a while back. I am in the club ;).

Lance, they go away after a period of time. Most likely 60 days from the event of suspect.


Tiffany, welcome to the club! Then again, anyone with beautiful squidward is alright with us.

Lol you guys are too funny! I've had an infraction myself, they go away as long as you learn ;) I was really sad when I got mine, I'm too much of a conformist, lol.

It was disheartening at first when I got mine, but heck might as well laugh about it while I have it right?

Don't need people getting a weird impression of me if I start acting completely out of character now.

I had one because I was misunderstood.

I had one because I was breast fed.

I had one because I was not breast fed.

I had one for using big words.

I had one for using small words.

I had one for scaring people.

I had one because the new mods need target practice and I have a really big ass. Can I say ass or will I get one for that?

I had one for not knowing if saying ass would get me one.

Most of this is lies.

I had a point for that.

They had to add bandwidth to keep track of my infractions, now they're a goodly sized coffee table book. Also quite effective at squashing roaches.

I had one for being original, but it was rescinded. Turns out I'm a copy of some guy who used to post a lot on Fauna.

All kidding aside though I am pretty sure that one of my first was for telling one of those guys in red to piss off. I reckon they're just gluttons for punishment.

I saw that as soon as I posted it. I tried to delete the post as soon as I saw it. I really hadn't noticed it was gone. I guess I'm to dumb to know how to delete it. THANKS for pointing that out to EVERYBODY Dr. Del :(

>: I want to be in the cool kids club, but I've not figured out how to earn my invite just yet. -sad-

In any case, this thread is great. :) Made for some good giggles and helped me learn what those numbers were. :D

I don't believe that to be the case. I honestly don't look over at them, unless I'm checking to see if someone already has a warning.

In fact, probably most of the staff earned infractions and warnings ourselves when we first joined the site. :)

I'm sorry. :( :hug:

I got infractions for using a so called "cuss" word.

Which I still think was a bunch of crap.

Oh, crap, I said crap, guess I'll get another one for that too won't I.

Oh well, who gives a crap.

I don't think I appreciate your tone, not to mention your offensive language.

I got mine for saying a dirty word, that I believe was in reference to my opinion of the (then) new policy surrounding infractions for dirty words.

Can I have punch and pie too?
