As the forum grows, the staff has decided that it has become necessary to enact consequences for members that break rules.

Although many members may disagree with a "points" system, it was the most logical and easy to use choice that we had.

Every time a post is in direct violation of our rules, the post will be edited and the poster will be given a "point" and notified of this fact. Staff are not above the rules and are also subject to points if they violate them. At certain point levels, infractions will be issued.

3 points: five-day forum suspension, one-month I6 suspension (if applicable)
6 points: two-week forum suspension, permanent I6 suspension (if applicable)
9 points: in the event someone receives a third infraction (i.e., a ninth point), the staff will discuss the situation and decide on an appropriate course of action on a case-by-case basis, from a longer suspension up to a permanent ban of the forum.

Hopefully, no one will receive any infractions.

Cheers,

The Scorpion Admin Team
