How the Warning/Infraction System Works - Page 3 - Overclock.net

Well, IMO a list of infractions or a public infraction display would be kind be smart, but it would not be good for the image of the site. People want to see rainbows and butterflys, not cry at the sight of infractions. Basically to not get an infraction, just don't do anything stupid. lol

I posed the question to the other directors. Before the custom infraction posting a list would just make it obvious where the holes in the system lie. Now there technically are no holes, as we deal with anything that comes up. So I am much more open to the idea of publishing the list of standard infractions. Before I do so, I need to get some input from the other directors. So hold tight, and we will see what happens.

EDIT: The overwhelming opinion of the directors is to keep the list of standard infractions private. I will say that it very directly correlates to the items listed in the TOS.

OK BFRD. Thanks for taking my suggestion seriously and taking it to the other mods. The forum is (imo) not hurt much by the current lack of a published list of standard infractions, so it's not a huge deal that it stays private. It's a shame that there's no scope for more transparency in the system atm, but I do appreciate the reasoning for keeping it that way. Perhaps sometime in the future, the issue will be reviewed and the idea of adding more transparency to the regulatory systems of the forum will be given more support among those with the power to implement it.

Thanks for your help!

Where would these infractions show up?

You would receive a PM from a Moderator, and the infraction will be listed in your User Control Panel.

Thanks BFRD!

This was a good read and explanations of the rules/infractions protocol.

So far I've not had any, so I guess I've been an honorable member. I like the fact that people do keep tabs on things and don't let things get out of hand. I've been on other forums where that did happen and it wasn't pleasant at all. That's why I'm here and have been for almost 18 months!

Take care and my regards to all, :-)

So... if I can't find any list of infractions/warnings on my User CP, does that mean I'm clean?

But then again, I never actually find the 'rep you have received' thing until people were enquring about the loss of it.

that's right, if you have nothing on the user CP page you are clean

Do editors have the same powers as directors and are they able to issue infractions?
