Disciplinary procedure

2. A single moderator on the spot can impose a 24-hour ban cooling off period though collaboration with another moderator is preferred.
3. Bans for 1 week required agreement of 3 moderators after examining the documentation.
4. A permanent ban must be unanimously agreed on by all moderators.
5. If a member on a ban returns under another name, will have all posts made during the ban period deleted and may receive an additional ban period.

NB*

All moderators decisions are final, argueing with them will get you into further trouble, this is for the benefit of all users.On the spot bans and warnings (leading to perm bans) will be issued where neccessary and these are final, also you will be given a reason if its a warning.Creating multiple accounts to continue to question the mods decision will only get that account banned.

If you have a problem with a moderator on the board, PM other moderators or the webmaster and they will look into your complaint, please provide a screenshot if there is abuse.
