Infraction System

[1979camaro]

Hello members,

The MFT.net staff has decided to develop a publicly posted uniform policy for addressing member related problems on the board. Conveniently, the message board program we use has an integrated infraction system. We have tailored that system to meet our needs as a staff and, effective immediately, we will begin using this system to help manage the message boards.

The system is fairly straightforward. It allows moderators to give an infraction to a member who violates the already established policies of MFT.net. That infraction can either expire in a certain time period (meaning the infraction points go away) or be permanent (the infraction points never go away). When a member receives 20 infraction points, that member is permanently banned automatically. Ideally, this will eliminate the false perception that the moderation staff does not enforce the rules here consistently.

The offenses we will be using can be viewed here: http://www.myfishtank.net/wordpress/...tionlevels.jpg

Please note that we reserve the right to ban members for gross violations without using the infraction system.

Members who receive an infraction will receive a notification of the reason for the infraction from the moderator giving the infraction. That notification is available to all moderators.

If you have any questions regarding the new system or any infractions you may receive, do not hesitate to contact any member of the moderation staff.
