RFD Member Status Definitions
Is there a link to the definitions/consequences of the various statuses or levels an RFD account can have? I've always wondered what things like "Penalty Box" meant.

From my understanding it means all their posts have to be approved by a mod before they are posted. I could be completely wrong though.

This is true. You obtain penalty box status at 10-14 points. 15 or more yields you a trip to the land of temporary banning.

Thanks ,Tom. So how are points accumulated - only by infractions? And one point per infraction? Do points expire? Also, how long are Penalty Box and Temp Ban periods? Finally, what about permanent Banned - is there a hard point limit for that or is it under the discretion of Mods and Admins?TomRFD wrote: ↑ This is true.

Thanks. BTW, I'm not trolling. I just want to get a better understanding of how it works.

Yes points are only accumulated through the infraction system. We have presets and most are between 2 and 5 (depending on the severity of the offence) however we can apply custom infractions with any point value. Expiry dates are typically between 90-180 days and can also be custom. Once points expire and you cross under the lower threshold for a range you'll be automatically switched to the group under. Permanent bans are usually reserved for spam posters and repeat offenders.DiceMan wrote: ↑ Thanks ,Tom. So how are points accumulated - only by infractions? And one point per infraction?

No that is independent from the rank system and it's currently set at 25 posts.
