I looked, but cannot find out

how many infraction points can a member receive before they are banned? This is a serious question, not meaning to be snarky.

This?

So, 10? Did I read that right???

 

[Caridwen]

10 means gone and not coming back. You could discuss that with the admins. (Not you personally, but a member)

Most of the others expire.

Planning something crazy Chelle?

[chellemmm]

No, just curious...

 

[classwife]

to clarify just a little...about the 10, that is if it is one infraction.
There are many people here that have had a bunch of points over the years and they are still here.
As mentioned, the points will fall away after a while.
You really have to do a lot to get banned from here, it's truly not the slam-dunk that some people have claimed.
Sarge's post here is really good too : http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...surviving-first-contact-moderation-staff.html

Thank you. I just ask because I have a quick temper, sometimes. I need rules! THANKS ADMINS!!!

Just paste a picture of this next to your monitor as a reminder.

 

[chellemmm]

I would, but I can't see it!

 

[sonicdsl]

I couldn't either - not sure why not. So I went to the source & copied it...

You are always so HELPFUL, Sonic!

That's weird. Shows up fine here. **scratching head**

 

[tiburonfirst]

it doesn't show if you're using ff with adblocker

I'm curious about the 10-pointer that says:

"Attempting to mask your identity by accessing the forums through a proxy server, or misrepresenting your location."

I'm reading that as "you actually live in X but tell us you live in Y".

Or is the rule referring to something more sinister than that?

That would be like living in Canada, IP shows you coming from Canada, but you fill out your profile and state you live in the US. As for proxy servers, some ISPs use 'em and that's OK. It's the anonymous ones that tend to get Admins hot and bothered about.

So if I live in, say, California... but I put down New York, that is 10 points???

I think it's for people misrepresenting where they're from for a purpose or to circumvent a rule. You see this with banned members, multiple accounts or sometimes 'unregistered' suppliers.
