'infraction point system'

[kev curry]

Would someone like to explain the 'infraction point system'?

What does it mean exactly? How long will ''3 points'' last? Do members have a set number of points to begin with?

The content of my post was political but so are almost all of the others in the same thread. Why did I receive an infraction notice while others didn't?

Don't quote me the guidelines on this matter when the lounge is flooded with politics.
I would like some clarification on what appears to be a completely arbitrary system of handling the thread in question.


Dear kev curry,

You have received an infraction at Large Format Photography Forum.

http://www.largeformatphotography.in...d.php?p=567022

Reason: politics
-------
you know the rules
-------

This infraction is worth 3 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire.

All the best,
Large Format Photography Forum

The points mean nothing really, I have to fill in the blanks with something or the software won't proceed. By making the warning official I can keep better track of who has been warned for future reference.

It is a function of the underlying board software. See the manual: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/user_infractions

You have to go to a reeducation camp Kev, someplace without any cairns in a snowstorm ;-)

C'mon... it doesn't ahve to be that extreme. It is Lent, after all. How about five Hail Mary's and an Our Father... followed by an Act of Contrition?

Oh, no... how do I delete that? I'm likely to get a "religion" infraction. H-E-L-P!

How about Hairy Mary's and a How's your father?
Otherwise your insurance premiums are going to go up too...

Hairy Mary's hows your fathers circles have been know to cause confusion depending on the lighting.

Why fool around ... just take him out and shoot him.
