I agree that the infraction system can be messy but to be honest there is never going to be a 'set' system that can work, especially on here, there still is set points but I personally tend to go by what infractions a member has had in the past, if you for example had 10 infractions for insulting others then I would be more inclined to give you higher points for an insult than I would for someone that had 1 infraction in the past for insults...

Theres so many members with different points and infraction reasons that to treat every single rule break for each member the same way would be extremely unfair.

If 2 people are infracted at the same time and one is pushed into a ban then all I can say is that it's entirely their own fault, they must have broken more rules in the past to have high enough points to be pushed into a ban.

The straight ban thing, it can be extremely frustrating if arguing continues when we have already given out infractions to some of the members involved and maybe already posted a warning in the thread, arguing doesn't just affect the members involved it is also unfair on members that just want to reply to the thread topic to have to keep scrolling through drama, so a straight ban is the next thing.

I can understand why you'd do that, but i don't really think it's fair, I have 16 pages of infractions, so a lot of them are going to be for varying offences, does that mean that all my infractions are going to be higher?

I think you need to treat every reported post or potentially infractionable post completely separate to past infracted posts by the member whose potentially being infracted (i hope I'm making sense i feel like I'm just rambling :joker:), that way noone can accuse mods of being bias or kicking up a fuss, because it's all completely fair, whether the infraction is given by someone who dislikes the member, or someone who loves the member

I think if we have a set system where the infraction points are clearer, and posting bans are longer we'd have a lot less infracted posts because people will be off the site for a lot longer

Again, i get why it's frustrating but threatening bans outright is unfair, I honestly just think one warning should be made in bold and if after that it doesn't end just infract every single post that carries it on, sooner or later (if they're banned) they'll get the message

Tbf though the Mods and Admin don't like people causing trouble over infractions on the Forum, yet they don't engage with the members that do try to PM them over the issue, and then come up with rules that don't exist to excuse their mistake.:joker:

I know and it's ridiculous that even after the show is over they can't just admit to making a mistake and that they overreacted.:joker:

This was only suppose to be quick to get it all sorted, but they won't back down at all.

Yes my other two infractions before that was deserved Josy as they wasn't jokes, but that one was, but by your definition then all posts that get reported should result in an infraction, including the ones that have got reversed.

Mock that infraction wouldn't have been discussed because it was one of the most clear cut and agreed upon infractions ever given, seriously let it go :laugh:

Nooo I think you misunderstood that. Its more a case of...if you had 4/5 infractions for insulting people over the past week, then you insulted someone again, you would get more points as you are obviously ignoring warnings and stuff. Infractions from ages ago don't matter.

I have to disagree with that, I think if a person is constantly doing the same thing and basically ignoring all the warnings and previous infractions for the same thing, you have to start upping their points or instantly banning (which we very rarely do btw)
