Infraction system

When a member breaks the rules (and a moderator sees the post) a moderator can apply an infraction which, much like a driver’s licence, costs you points. These points last for a certain period of time, then they expire.

As your infraction points mount up you lose privileges. At, say, 5 points you might lose the ability to make new threads. At 10 points, you may lose the ability to post videos/pics. At 20 points, say, you lose all privileges apart from viewing threads.

As the points expire your privileges are returned automatically. The expiry date might be a point a day.

This means there is accountability for moderators and users in the banning/suspension system.

I must disagree with this. Whenever I moderate, I can remember what I moderated for a few days to come, possibly a few weeks.

I really don’t take more than that. However, we’ll need feedback from more moderators.

I would disagree with this also, I think this would just complicate things further... I believe 1-2 warnings (depending on the severity of the offence) should be placed before a ban.

Plus I doubt this would be easy for Bjarne to do.
