Infraction and Ban

[complete]

Dear valued members,
In the spirit of making this a better forum as we go through some growing pains, we would like to point out what's appropriate and what's not appropriate in posting in this forum.

Everybody is volunteer here and no one is forcing anybody to be here. We all want the forum to be the best place for martial arts discussion. In order to do this, we have to have some ground rules - which I thought were obvious but apparently not to everybody.

We as martial artists have to have respect for one another, as a human being, even if the other person is of different race, color, sex, age, etc. and have completely different opinions from me. You are certainly are entitled to your own opinions, but it's not appropriate to belittle others and be rude to others for having different views from you.

And if you see any members breaking these rules, please let admin/and or moderator know the offending member/posts.

Here are the rules for infractions and ban, that applies to everyone.

Pornographic posting - automatic ban
Spamming - 1 fraction point.
Cussing - 1 fraction point
Calling names/belittling/rudeness - 1 fraction point

If you have 3 fraction points, you'll be banned from the site for 1 day
If you have 5 fraction points, you'll be banned from the site for 1 week
If you have 7 fraction points, you'll be permanently banned from this site.

All the fraction points are cumulative and do not go away.

I'm hoping we never ever have to enforce any of these rules, but for the good of the community, we will do what is necessary to keep few bad apples from ruining the whole apple cart.

Thank you
Admin

i have a question.
Have you already assigned any of these infraction points and if so how can we tell if we have them?
