Warnings, Infractions, & Points - What does it all mean?
The Australian Magna Club is a large community containing a wide range of people from different backgrounds, of different ages and different genders. It's important that we ensure The Australian Magna Club is a safe, fun place for everyone who drops by.
To ensure we do this we have set out some very simple and clear Rules & Guidelines. Please take the time to read through these as it's important everyone is aware of how to behave on the forums.
If you stray from these simple guidelines you may receive a warning or infraction. These are handed to members by the AMC Executive Team. A "warning" is simply just that - it's letting you know you have stepped over the line but made no real big fuss about it. A warning is there simply to advise and remind you of our rules.
A 1 point infraction is a minor point, you don't receive a penalty for one point, however if they build up you will have temporary suspensions from the forums.
Below is a table which is used by the AMC Executive Team on how to award infraction points to members, below that is how infraction points reflect forum suspensions.
