In short, you'll rack up 1 point for any of the following on the HORSE RACING forums here (off-topic posts will not be subject to penalty points....yet....we will moderate off-topic as usual):
- Insulting Other Member(s)
- Inappropriate Language (mainly hardcore-type stuff...stuff *I* wouldn't use)
- Having your Post / Thread Deleted for violating TOS
If you amass three points in a 10 day period, you get automatically shut down for one day. If you get six points in a 10 day period, you are automatically silenced for five days. Anything above that, and you risk being permanently removed from the active roster.
Sorry it has come to this...and hopefully it's a temporary thing, but I must wrest control back on this board. The moderators need an easier and more defined way to go about achieving more civility around here, because some people obviously don't pay attention to the gentle hints I've been dropping for almost 17 years now.
Note to moderators --> Under every user name on every post you will see the following symbol:
Click the symbol to "award" points to a user following an infraction.
The rest will take care of itself.
Thanks.
