Process for Rule Violation
This page will explain in more detail the consequences associated with different types of rule violations.
Little Things
Unless you are particularly persistent, you are very unlikely to be banned for pinging everyone or spamming reactions. However, this may be counted as a strike. Misuse of the Mods Group may also result in a strike. Off-topic posts will be a strike.
Strikes
For little offences, strikes may be earned. If three strikes are accumulated, you may be kicked from any official groups for up to a week.
Spamming
Spamming nonsense or reactions in excess will result in an immediate kick from groups.
Advertising
Advertising other services will result in a warning, strike, kick, or ban depending on the nature of the service.
Offensive Behavior
Hate speech, cursing, racism, and anything else regarded as offensive by the general population will result in a ban.
Flamboyant Rule Violations
Trying to get banned or violating the rules in extreme ways will result in a ban.
Bans
A ban is your account being deleted. Most data associated with the account will be lost. We may be willing to accept an appeal 3 or more months later. (Possibly never depending on the offence.)
Ban Evading
Ban evading will, obviously, result in a ban.
