[Forum Policy] The forums has two types of warnings. “Verbal Warning” - A warning that assigns no “points” to a user’s profile. This is usually used for minor rule breaks or new members on the forums who may have accidentally broken a rule. A user will not automatically be muted by the forum system if they receive multiple verbal warnings. “Forum Warning” - A warning that assigns one forum warning point to a user's profile. This is usually given out to users who continue to break Forum rules or have previous verbal / Forum warnings. If a user receives two “Forum Warnings” within 30 days they will automatically be muted for 1 day by the Forums. Arguing with any member of the Forum Moderation team after having received a warning may lead to additional warnings. Users who feel they have been unfairly punished on the forums are asked to appeal their warnings or bans here: coming soon Permanent Forum Bans are only to be placed by a Director or the CEO The Forum Moderation Team reserve the right to edit, remove or put on moderation queue any post/thread at any time.
