Infraction system information and questions

I just got a infraction for spelling god d-word the right way, it should probably be ****ed out like the other swear words ... just saying

Except that such a word wouldn't be asterisked out as it's not on our filter, and doesn't count as a swear word here.

I'm fairly certain you got infracted for the other word you used in that post that did get censored out - words like that are what will cause you to get such an infraction.

I'll probably get tagged and bagged for being off-Topic, but this Thread had over 1 Month absence before someone else Posted (23rd February - 11th June). Shouldn't it be locked like other Threads? Or did I miss something in the Forum Description?

All the better to see you with keep the community trouble-free, really.

I have a quick question. I got a light blueish mark on my user CP, but no points or reason why I have it, its just there. what does it mean?

A light blue-ish mark? O.o Nothing involving infractions are blue. XD; (And I just checked and you don't have any.)

Care to take a screenshot and PM it to me?

Sure. It might be a positive reputation thing. I dunno.

I'm pretty sure those are green. Or black even red

i had an infraction that said i was banned, but i could still make posts, well if i could still make posts and everything then what does banning do exactly?

The moderator was just joking with you. When someone is banned, they cant even see the forum. They see a message saying they are banned and why. And until it is lifted, you can't get into the forum. You are kicked out, banned.

Character limit breakage says up to five times. Because I feel I will end up doing that five times in the years to come (indeed, the honest reason behind the post), I ask: what happens after five times?

My Guess would be a Full-On Heavy Infraction (Mind you my Guesses are right about 14% of the Time).

2 points infraction, two weeks, as the rules say.

Good guess XD

Quite a trail of confusion I have been led upon.
I've found my answer none the less.

A few questions. If a member is banned, then why do they appear in the members list, and two, if you are banned, can you see the forum as a guest? xD

If you're banned and you log into your account; your technically online and therefore your on the Currently Active Users list. I'm pretty sure banned members don't appear on the Members List.

And yes, you can, assuming you delete your cookies, I think. However, that doesn't work if you're IP banned. Then all you can see is a message telling you that you've been IP banned.

Banned members do not show up on the Members List.

Why should I get an infraction for writing "25charrule" at the end of my post? 25 is too high of a limit. Sometimes there's just nothing to say.

I bet you by the end of this sentence, I'll have 25 characters.

^ Oh my, would you look at that? That's 63 characters right there. If I can type 63 characters in one sentence, I'm quite positive anybody else can reach 25 characters. Thousands of members manage to do it regardless. So clearly it isn't as difficult as you're making it out to be, regardless of what's left to say.

With that said, 25 characters is not hard to reach at all. Besides, if you don't have anything important to say, don't say it at all. A good thing to do is to use your brain when posting. Not just posting for the hell of it, just to up your post count or something.

Clearly it depends on the topic. If the topic is "What do you think of [Pokemon]?", then I want to be able to say "He looks dumb." and leave it at that. Adding meanlingless drivel like "this is just my opinion" or "that's just me" is pointless, and I think it makes me look stupid.

Also, if I was REALLY concerned about my post count, I would have more than 50 posts in 4 months.
