# MEMBER SAFETY…
*AND WHAT IT MEANS TO US!*
Our community is a safe place for everyone, regardless of politics, preferences, gender, sexuality, race or creed. In special circumstances where our senior team believes you to be a threat to the community and or the safety of our members, we reserve the right to remove you from the community entirely.
We will always provide you with one warning to change your behaviour before this happens. This is the only exception where our points system does not apply and is only used in serious situations where our team feel there is no other option.
# WARNING POINTS
If a user is found breaking these rules they will receive warning points, our system will automatically hand out punishments to users who receive a certain amount of warning points:
10 WARNING POINTS - 1 HOUR ACCOUNT TIMEOUT.
20 WARNING POINTS - 1 DAY ACCOUNT TIMEOUT.
25 WARNING POINTS - 3-DAY ACCOUNT TIMEOUT.
30 WARNING POINTS - 7-DAY ACCOUNT TIMEOUT.
40 WARNING POINTS - 14-DAY ACCOUNT TIMEOUT.
50 WARNING POINTS - 28-DAY ACCOUNT TIMEOUT.
60 WARNING POINTS - REMOVAL FROM COMMUNITY.
Points expire exactly 3 months after the date you recieve them.
