For me they simply don't. If anything they make me more un PC. Your thoughts?

Do you feel like they have misunderstood your comment? I get that all the time.

[Johnnyuk123]

It's strange when you post a joke comment to then be told it's litterally offensive then banned which is the last thing you actually intended.

I usually edit or delete posts that I think could get me into trouble. I'm not very good at thinking before I say things.

[Johnnyuk123]

During an infraction period i tend to watch movies and chat on other forums to many people from here so the infraction period is redundant in my case for the most part.

Ive said stuff as jokes but been given warnings instead of actual infractions

Freedom of speech and all that is not welcomed in some instances so i understand what you are saying.

Never had an infraction.

Never felt the need to offend either.

TBH I love the moderators in here. On the whole they do a great job but I would love them even more if they revealed themselves whilst applying an infraction. You just get a message saying whatever you said this and that your now banned by no name. But alas we are not privy to that information yet.

I now call my infractions thrush, it keeps coming back.

[Johnnyuk123]

I just apply the cream and cross my fingers for a few days hoping it will be gone soon.

Yogurt?

Infractions and bans are handed out due to forum rule breaks if they aren't changing you're behaviour then they will get harsher and lead to longer or indefinite bans. It's not difficult to take part in a forum without breaking rules.

^^ This is why I'm glad I've never been infracted

I've mentioned this a few times but freedom of speech is not absolute and does not give you an excuse to break the rules of the forum.

Yes, this is why we had plug

(joking)

[Amy Jade]

I tend to just carry on the same, I believe most of my infractions are either me slightly over stepping the line but not in a nasty way, usually it's sarcasm or just another forum member being a bit prissy - so I refrain from reading their posts for a bit lol

[LemonJam]

I mean I don't think it's that hard not to be an arsehole to people so I don't ever have to change my posts.

However, one of my entire two infractions over my seven years being on here (7 years sweet Jesus ) was for breaking the swear filter and honestly I still do that from time to time

[Jamie89]

Are infractions the same as bans? Or are they warnings? And how do you know if you've had one, do you get a pm?

Infractions come with points that build up and lead to bans, the more points you accrue the longer the bans get, warnings don't have points and can't lead to a ban.

And yes you receive a pm from TiBB Staff telling you what post has been warned/infracted and the reason.

[Dollface]

not really tbh
