A question about : Question for the mods/admin

Hello. title=Smile

Just a quick question to anyone in admin who can help me.

I got a couple of warnings last year (October time) after getting into spats with people, and in mid November, I had a bit of a tiff with someone, said something I shouldn't have, and got a 2 week PPR.

I noticed on my profile that there is a label that says 'infractions' and when I click on it, it says 'verbal warning,' then 'yellow card,' then 'red card,' and on the red card, it says 'expires on 17/02/15 (or thereabouts.)

My question is ... as the 'infraction' list says that the red card expires on 17/02/15, does this mean that I won't get banned if I 'say the wrong thing' again in say 2 or 3 months? Basically, will the 'disciplinary' procedure restart?

I just wondered this, as I have been worried about getting a permanent ban if I say the wrong thing, and consequently, I haven't been posting a lot. I am not saying I intend to be rude or provocative, but I sometimes get a bit tired of being afraid to speak, in case I say the 'wrong thing' or several members don't like what I say, and report me, and I get banned.

I mean, if you got a warning for something at work, or if you have a driving offence, it would drop off your record after six or twelve months or so; so is this the same principle, or will I get banned the next time I am 'naughty' even if my 'infractions' have dropped off many months back?

Thanks in advance. title=Smile

  • Hi Peter,
    We judge each report we receive on a case by case basis so we do take into account the fact that reports have dropped off, or recent behavior in the forum.
    Thanks
