So, for people who don't already know this, the warning bar looks like this:
You start out with your warn bar completely empty. Each time you get "warned", your warning bar will fill up by 1 or more extra notches. As you get more warns, you may lose access to certain site features or privileges.
Getting WARNINGS is not a GAME. These are NOT good to have!!
You can recieve warnings when any moderator or admin sees that you are breaking the rules. If it is a light infraction and/or your first violation, you may recieve a verbal warning instead of an official warning accompanied by a warn bar increase. If you continue to disobey the rules, you will be warned, and in case of serious and intentional infractions you can also be Banned.
The warn system:
- General Spamming: 1x warn
- Early Bumping : 1x warn
- Flaming Admins or Mods outside of the Battlefield: 1x warn
- Breaking Signature/Avatar rules even after being informed of the violation by an Admin or Mod: 1x warn
- Using profanity in topic titles outside of the Battlefloor and/or using excessive profanity in posts outside of the Battlefloor: 1x warn
- Racist Comments/Remarks: 1x warn (note: more serious offenses may be met with more warn)
- Posting a pic or wearing a pic from someones that he didnt give you the permission to put or to wear: 3x warn (note: serious offenses in this category may be cause for banning on the first offense)
- Posting pictures in a thread or having pictures in your signature/avatar of a pornographic nature: 2x warn (note: serious offenses in this category may be cause for banning on the first offense)
- Scamming another member (this includes falsely advertising your goods in order to purposefully mislead the other member): Your FG will be locked and you will be banned (depending on the nature of the offense)
