11. Should you follow the guidelines posted you should have no problems here on Club Civic, but we still need to outline our warning/infraction and banning policies. We operate on a warning system; direct individuals warnings or infractions will be sent through the private message feature (and it will also be kept in a log for our records). A warning is generally used to address small violations in site policy, and are not the same as infractions. Infractions are issued when a moderator feels the violation warrants it.
Three infractions will result in a temporary ban; the length of this ban will generally be short (but its important to remember it is up to the discretion of the staff and will vary depending on what prompted the infractions). After that ban you will be given a chance to return to the site. If you continue to violate the guidelines of this site you will be subject to the same policies. Should the need arise to ban any individual a second time that ban will more than likely be permanent. As threads go off topic a moderator may step in and warn the thread in general, this is not the same as being issued an infraction directly via a private message. If you register with the sole intent to start trouble you will be banned. It is also important to know that you may be banned without any, or minimal warning. This would be unusual but may result from your continuing to agitate a situation after a member of the staff has stepped in to try to resolve it. If you are banned in a situation like this the ban will generally be much shorter and will be used as a "cool off period". Please do not deliver the message of a banned member through public posts, they are banned for a reason, and doing so will result in you being banned as well. Do not make posts arguing or inquiring as to why another member was banned, if they were banned there is a reason (it is likely that in most cases they were banned for violating the rules of the site). A banning without warning may also result in troll situations. In all cases where the rules of the site appear to be abused the staff will have the final say on the correct course of action.
