Marinate on that.
yes because it extends the dates that any further infractions will expire.
also, the general ghist seems to be that breaking minor rules like flaming, breaking H-scroll, forum harassment etc. unintentionally will get you 2 points.
intentionally breaking those rules will sometimes get you 3 points depending on the mod.
serious rules that will always get you 3 points include:
posting nudity
the N word
Wares and Roms.
trolling for the sake of trolling and bragging about it.
thats from my observations.
I could swear there was a post/thread about the specifics, but it might've been the original thread where they rolled the infraction system out, which is probably buried somewhere here in the Circus' history.
Warnings are the same as whatever infraction they accompany, only they don't come with any points (but they do appear on your profile, and on the screen that pops up whenever we infract people).
At least 3 points is jailed (for as long as you have at least 3 points), 6 points is a two-week ban, and 8 points is a perma-ban.
Infraction expiration dates stack. So, if you get two minor infractions, the second one isn't going to expire until one month after the first one does, even if you get them hours apart.
Then there are the folks who seem to have trouble learning from their mistakes, at which point simply having 3-4+ pages of infractions itself is somewhat funny, if a bit sad at the same time.
And Larlar has given like half an infraction total.
He's such a sweetie.
Larlar relies on his prickly demeanor to enforce the rules.
Larlar has given me a two point infraction before.
Fortunately for me I was too lazy to log out and it was passed onto Vivienne instead.
Boy was in trouble that day.
Totally worth it though.
Satans..... hints.....
That was during the time when there was just the single Christmas Forum.
Tube enforced Christmas Spirit with an iron fist.
Man that was great
You can see why this would be a bad thing.
That only works on forums where the mods are afraid of hurting someone's feelings by banning them for being a blatant troll to get some sort of recognition. I don't think PA would have that problem.

The whim and mood of the mods, I would guess.
Also, I think I read that by far most bans are related to spambots, so those don't get posted here.
Serves 'em right.
for instance, the special SE++ rule larlar created regarding me specifically

Best infractions ever, in my opinion.
Well that and Wonder_Hippie getting a Christmas Spirit infraction for starting a thread about why atheism is awesome and Christmas is stupid.
I dunno. Lewie_P has some good ones.
I'm going to start saying "Marinate on that" to all of my friends now.
Look at what you have wrought.
Look at it.
If people get slapped on the wrist with a zero-point warning, can they still explode into extreme rage and earn even more points?
Damn straight they can
And that's why I love this place.
I might start posting them again, but I am really lazy.
I never laughed so hard at threads as I did at those threads.
How many cases have there been where people got that sort of infraction and they exploded into a "BAN ME" tirade?
Well, here's one to start with. He didn't get banned, but he was basically begging for it while going /wrists on the forum. Even better was that his warning was about the ladder theory which was expressly singled out in the rules thread.
There's some guy who got permanently banned because he couldn't stand the tyranny, assholery, and dickwadness of a certain admin who threw a warning at him.
I'm not sure what's funnier; that all but one of them was given by Tube, or the 2 points for "failing to adequately die in a fire" that never expires.
... definitely the latter.
Let this be a lesson to us all; [strike]they[/strike] Tube can and will give points permanently.
Edit: I do stand corrected.
