Beginning as of now is the "Strike System."
If you break one of the rules, you get one warning first, then three "strikes"--or chances to get away with breaking the rules--without 'punishment'
If broken three times, you are at the mercy of the admins' discretion, meaning you are subject to being banned. However, if you EDIT your OWN remarks after realizing you could get a "strike" for it, and it's BEFORE a mod/admin has to edit it, you'll be fine.
In other words, if a post has to be edited for lack of following a rule, STRIKE. Don't get caught. >:P
Every time a person's post is edited, I will discretely put at the bottom "Warning," "Strike 1," etc.
ALSO!! Depending on the severity of the "crime" depends on how many strikes you get. The common ones, like swearing and spamming = 1, but something like posting porn, etc, is an automatic ban. (But you all knew that)
I apologize for having to be so strict; I really don't WANT to have to do this, but these boards have gotten out of hand. Don't trifle with me on this one.
