What are you talking about? The owners/administrators (names in red) can shut down the forum at any time. But I'm not sure how that's related to infractions? We have no interest in shutting down our forums, why would we?
You get infractions for violating the TOS that you agreed to when you joined the forum. Infraction discussions can take place in Quarantine (if you need access, contact an administrator) or by PM to a staff member.
