UTA Forum behaviour and threads level

[brajan]

Please keep in mind that UTA forums are public and it's available for anyone including kids.
Keep your language clean and if you really have some problems with other member(s) or clan(s) from this community DON'T make a thread about it. Sort it on IRC/MSN/IRC or anywhere else but not on public forums!
Those kind of threads (example: "gogo NA" thread) only giving this community bad name nothing more.

Any post/thread with flames will be deleted and author will receive infraction points which will cause different penalties for repeated offenders.

There will be no excuses in giving infraction points. I don't care if you just replayed to someone's else insult. If you fell insulted use post reporting thingie! This way admins and mods can react faster.

Have a nice day!

User Infractions
The User Infraction system is designed to automate the the management of misbehaving users.

Infractions carry a point total that is awarded to users. When a user reaches pre-determined point levels, the user is given infraction groups. Infraction groups are set up to restrict the permissions of users.

The system can also be configured to institute automatic bans based on points or number of infractions received.

Each infraction level has an expiration time. When the infraction expires, the associated points are removed from the user's point total and the user's infraction groups are recalculated.

Infraction levels can also be allowed to be given as warnings. A warning does not add any infraction points to the user's point total. Warnings serve as a method to remind user's of your forum's rules and encourage them to be followed without awarding infraction points. Moderators have the ability to give an infraction or a warning for those levels that have the warning ability enabled. Moderators will be forced to send a message to the user that details why the infraction is being given. This message will use the Private Messaging System if it is enabled. Otherwise an email will be sent if your forum has Email enabled. At the same time, a new thread for discussion of the infraction will be created in a pre-determined forum.

There are two methods in which you may penalize users.

The first method is utilizing infraction groups to gradually remove permissions.

The second method by which you may penalize users is by setting up automatic bans. You may set up bans that only apply to specific usergroups as well as apply to all users. Bans may be triggered either by points or by the number of infractions that the user has received. An example setup would be to ban a user for one week for receiving their third infraction and then banning them permanently for receiving their sixth infraction.
