Section Five: Punishments

For everything you do that breaks a rule, the following will be given as

punishments

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10% warning = nothing
20% warning = nothing
30% warning = nothing
40% warning = A bad reputation ;O
50% warning = inability to post for 3 days
60% warning = inability to post for a week
70% warning = 3 day suspension
80% warning = one week suspension
90% warning = permanent ban
100% warning = permanent ban

10% warning is removed from your warning level every 3 weeks so try not to get warnings.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section Six: Unban.

If you feel you should be unbanned, read the following section

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you were banned unfairly, please include your username in the Complaints forum. If you were banned fairly, you will have to follow a different process. If you were banned but you regret doing what you did, you may issue a FORMAL apology and have a positive user base consensus specifically stating that they want you to be back on the forums. To do this, you can start a poll in the polls forum. To get unbanned requires you to apologize to the community and people you have hurt AND have the majority of the forums vote in favor of your unban.

Please note, Life and only Life has the power to ban or unban for any reason.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section Seven: Your rights as a member.

You're a member. You have rights, exploit it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Was a moderator's decision unfair?

If you were warned/suspended/banned by a moderator, feel free to post in our complaints forum. Please provide evidence and we will lift the ban, warning, or other punishment if we find it unfair or unjustified.

2. The only rules are on this page.

If a moderator warned you for a rule that isn't on this page, post a complaint up and you can get the moderator lose his or her position. This rule only applies to moderators and not administrators.

3. Express your mind and soul.

As a member, you can express all you want. (As long as you abide the rules above) Don't feel oppressed or intimidated by other members, they are all kind and sweet and willing to help you at a moment's notice.

4. The administrator makes final decision.

If a moderator has banned, but you plan to repeal, go ahead you have a chance. The administrator makes the final decision. Though, you can try even if it's just 10%.


5. Fairness

All members, regardless of anything, will receive fair treatment. It doesn't matter if you're black, white, green, purple, Asian, or an alien, it's all fair. (As long as you are fair to us!!)



6. Ex Post De Facto (After the fact)



You cannot be warned if what you did is before a rule was ever made.
