Here are some of the possible consequences for rule-breaking:
1. A verbal warning. This just means: "Stop what you're doing and think."
2. A 1-day ban. This means: "You have broken the rules, and you will face the consequences."
3. A 7-day ban. Other than a perma-ban, this type of ban says: "Next time you break a heavily-enforced rule, you will be permanantly banned."
4.
A perma-ban. Exactly what it says. A permanant ban from the forums. You may appeal by E-mail, or pay to get un-banned.
Obviously, you won't get any of these! Right? RIGHT?
But, anyway. Thanks for reading the rules!
