WinBoards Jail

edited December 2004 in News & Announcements
This is the punishments system for WinBoards

L1:

A warning for something, either an egregious minor offence, or failing to heed a warning. This doesn't entail a punishment, but it's like getting a warning for speeding, next time, you WILL have to pay.

L2:

More serious. Continual disregard for a/the rule/s or extreme overuse of some forum feature (Emoticons, PM, usrs contact information (AKA SPAM)). Will result in temporary ban and/or disability to use the abused feature. (D)DoSing falls under this category as it's not a severe or damaging attack.

L2 is a misdemeanor. After a period of time has elapsed and/or the usr has paid reperation and/or is sufficently contrite, they will move down the levels to L0. Provided they don't do something on their way down to move that back up, they'll eventually return to L0. Since a warning can be given only once, it will take significant time to go from L1 to L0

L3 and up are felonious and last from several weeks to the life of the board.

L3:

Serious. Threats against WinBoard, Fish (Or our current WB host) or threats carried out against any member plotted or discussed on WinBoards. Continual disredgard for a/the rules and stated intent to disregard them.

Will get a ban for some length of time.

L4:

Very serious. Threats carried out against WinBoards or hacks on WinBoards. Notice. White hat (Proof of vulnerabilites) will be tolerated to a certain extent. Black hat will NOT!

EG. If you gain Administ and leave a Announcment in News/Announc saying 'Hi! You're insecure, contact me here for the info', that's harmless white hat. If you change all the the forums names to YOUAREGAY, you're going to get L4.

A ban for several months

L5:

Continually harassing WinBoards, it's members, attempting to hack it, spreading viscous rumors, etc, etc. Any truly uncondoneable, repeated behavior.

Ban for life.

L6:

Child pornography.

Will get you banned for life and your IP reported with all relevant info.
