Information:
I have created this thread targeting new members to help them gain an understanding of the current rules and regulations regarding our warning system. If you have any questions or concerns, I ask that you post below or send me a PM. I'll be more than happy to assist and answer any questions/concerns you may have. This thread will be updated regularly with warning points, help documents, or site policy changes.
Help Documents:
For a better understanding of all current rules listed in the Help Documents, click this image. -->

If a user is having trouble understanding the site policy or disobeying it, simply redirect them with the famous help quote,
Quote:We recommend you take the time to read the HF Help Documents section. The answer to your questions should be contained there.
Below is the code for the above quote
Code
[help]Note: Writing out the "help" code does not apply to the 20 minimum character limit, so be more specific when directing a user to the Help Documents. It's always better for members to understand the current rules rather than overlook them.
Questions & Answers:
Q: Where is the report button?
A: The report button can be found on the bottom right-hand side of the user's post/thread. It resembles a lightning bolt icon.

Q: What if the reason isn't on the drop-down list?
A: Select "Other" and write the reasoning for your report.
Q: How do I report a user's profile?
A: Find their most recent post and select "Profile Violation" when clicking on the report. You may also report it directly to a Staff Member
Q: I don't understand why I received a warning, who do I contact?
A: By clicking on your warning level, you may find the Staff member who gave it to you. Contact them directly, and they will provide a more detailed response as to why it was given.
Note: More Q&A's will be added as I see common questions asked around the forum. If you have any suggestions, please list them below.

I've searched for a recent thread like this & nothing has shown, except for Omni's outdated one.

Quote:Limited: 50% warning changes your username to red & restricts you from accessing certain parts of the forums.
Banned: 100% warning is an automatic ban from Hack Forums. You will be banned for 1 week.
Should be:
Quote:50% = 24 hour post suspension
75% = 3 day Limited group
100% = 2 week Exiled group

Oh as I can see, some changes have been done. You're aren't limited with 50% of warning, now you just can't post for a day and 75% is limitation ban.
Nice thread.
