Pablo1986 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 What's an infraction mean next to my name? Does that mean I've been naughty? How many before we get a ban? Good to see the moderators have a sense of humour... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

saved_by_barry_horne Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 30 points = a one week ban 60 points = two week ban http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=39153 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 What does, for example, 0/1 actually mean, though? What's the zero and what is the one? And why is there a ten in brackets? Why can't we just have a normal warning system with one number only? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo1986 Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 All I did was say tongue in cheek the demo was coming out soon.... Obviously SI are so tetchy about release dates they're quick to jump down someone's throat. I've been around these forums long enough to know better but the temptation got the better of me...! It seems the vast majority of warnings etc. surround release dates and the like. Tbh I'm quite happy with 08 at the moment and not in much hurry for 09 - especially as if the last 5 versions of FM/CM are anything to go by, it'll be unplable until the second patch anyway.

Mike7077 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 They could argue that you were helping to add to the ridiculous and irritating hysteria around announcements and release dates and demos. Does seem a bit harsh to me, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saved_by_barry_horne Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 i believe 0/1 (10) means: 0 warnings / 1 post has earned infraction points (amount of total infraction points) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 i believe 0/1 (10) means:0 warnings / 1 post has earned infraction points (amount of total infraction points) Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's it. 30 points is a week's ban. The points are removed after a year. A warning isn't any points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moaner Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 hmm wonder why i got an infraction, probably for ****ing swearing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saved_by_barry_horne Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Yours is a warning. Swearing probably the right way to go though. KUTGW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Yeah, it is. One of your posts will have a yellow card by it, click on the card and it will tell you what you did wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moaner Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 oh thats alright then. how many swears are we allowed before we get an infraction? i'd rather have a swear jar system to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saved_by_barry_horne Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Only if the money can be spent on reworking the transfer system though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I'm pretty sure one swear equals one warning. Swear jar wouldn't work unless SI came round to our houses for the dosh every time we swore on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I wasn't referring to swearing being the right way to go, in fact it's the wrong way to go! Just don't swear. I meant yours is a warning. Edit: Depends on the scenario. If you swore and abused someone, it's a 10-point infraction. If you just swear, it's a warning (AFAIK). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave you the infraction, not SI. The reason was because it is a royal pain when people spread false information on the forums at the best of times, but even more so at this time of year. It might have been tongue in cheek to you, but could quite easily have been taken as true by someone who is not a regular forum user. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, but I still think the absolute no presuming/speculating etc. of FM09 release dates is a bit Nazi-esque... ordinarily I steer clear of threads like that anyhoo. I think the moderators need a sense of humour patch... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
