This page is null and void
This article documents a policy that is not in effect. It may have been revoked, or it may have been created as a joke. Either way, don't take it seriously. It will not be enforced, and it has no bearing on the rights or responsibilities of users.
- For information on the content and editing policy, see here.
For how warning, banning, etc. is actually handled, see here.
- User gets black dots each time the user does wrong and a ban (For duration see table below).
- Each time a user earns a black dot the ban also doubles in length. e.g. first dot - 1 day ban, second dot - 2 day ban, etc.
- Beyond Five dots the user is banned infinitely.
- Black dots are wiped clean when a gold star is awarded; conversely, by gaining a black dot the user loses all stars.
- Non-admins are not allowed to add, remove or tamper with warnings, dots or stars. Doing so results in the addition of a black dot.

|
Infinite ban
|
Earned by addition of two or more offences.
|
If a user already holds Black dots the current dots are added onto the new offence, and the ban time will match the new score when the new offence is added. So if a person already has 2 dots and an offence giving an extra 2 dots then the user will serve a ban of 8 days.
Admins, please always remember to give a witty justification/reason for infinite bans. Traditionally, bans have been given with the reason, "BOOM HEADSHOT!" If no such reason is given, the action may be countermanded by another admin, who will then need to ban the person properly. It's traditional!
