Question about infractions/bans

[Jack_]

Say when you receive enough points for a ban [9 points]...once the ban is finished, are all the points wiped off?

Or do they remain until they have expired?

[Vicky.]

They remain until they expire.

It goes towards the total of your next ban...the 9 goes onto 15. 15 points is a 2 day ban I think. It goes up depending on the number of total active points you have :)

Okay, thanks :thumbs:

Oh i thought it was 13

Yay I can be a little more abusive :D

[Vicky.]

I actually think they should stay forever to be honest...because sometimes this happens...

Someone gets a one point infraction and is knocked into a day ban. During the ban another one point expires. This means that the next one pointer they get, knocks them straight back into a ban...and then they are more annoyed :laugh:

True, but then the bans would have to get stupidly long.

Which is a good thing, people would be more likely to follow the rules then :p

I thought the two day ban was a total amount of points being 16?

That's also true, but the gaps between the infraction milestones would have to be widened I think.

Because I don't know about other people but if I got a 6 month ban [for example], I doubt I'd ever bother returning...no point really.

Not necessarily. We managed fine before with the 3 strikes and you are out policy.

1st was a days ban, second a week and third permanent. People didnt push their luck so much then.
