    Infractions

    Mine's been reversed.

    Does that mean I can't hang out with the cool kids any more?

    My two have also been reversed. Still it was a badge of honour while it lasted.

      Mine hasn't

      That said, it was only a yellow card rather than my usual red.

      Rebel without a clue.

        Ah, but you didn't get banned.

          So what do they actually mean ? I got a red one for calling MF a c**t.

          Was expecting a medal to be honest

            Yellow card is a warning.

            Red card is an infraction which accumulates a certain number of points. When you get to a threshold, you then automatically get a ban. If the infraction hasn't expired, you should be able to see how many points there are - IIRC, 3 points gets a 1 day ban, but I may be wrong or it may have changed.

            And mods can give you an outright temp ban (of varying length) or a permie ban.

            Edit - and there's nothing to stop more than one mod giving you an infraction for the same post, either

              Thanks for that mate. Get it now.

              All except the bit about 'all the mods'. I thought there was just one and the rest were sockies

                Please could one of our nice, sane, normal mods correct my thread title? I cringe every time I see it...
