"No warning given"

People are rarely banned for a single post, but rather for an overall pattern of behavior over an extended period of time. If people persist with the same kind of behavior for which they have been warned repeatedly, they become candidates for suspension. A suspension is intended as the last “wake-up call” before permanent banning. If a poster comes back from suspension, and once again starts to rack up warnings and mod notes for similar behavior, we are forced to conclude they are either unwilling or unable to change and become subject to banning. So no, the final offense does not have to be a major one, it just has to convince us that the poster is not going to change.

No, not at all. We do that mainly if the OP was trolling or perhaps posting in the Pit.

Apparently not, I don’t see anything.

That’s weird…I would think it would be part of the structure, not just turned on if you have infractions. But if you don’t have that section it must work that way.

I would think that the overwhelming majority of users have no infractions whatsoever.

And a small group have one.

And an even smaller group has multiple.

Well, at least I’m in an elite group, so to speak. :stuck_out_tongue:

You should market that concept as a reality show. People would watch.

Stephen King story, written as Richard Bachman. Weak ending, imo, but still one of my fav’s of the Bachman books.

I am aware of the story. I was referring to the concept as applied to warnings on this board.
