This is just an announcement to show members how Staff are meant to use the warning/ suspension/ banning system. I've also amended this to the Forum Rules page here for permanent review:
http://www.christianforums.com/rules.html
We hope that by doing this members understand better how staff work.
This is the warning -> suspension -> banning protocol staff follow:
1. First rule broken is usually given an unofficial warning as a PM.
2. 3 warnings over a span of 6 months, a 2 week suspension is mandated.
3. 3 warnings over a span of 3 to 4 months, a 3 week suspension is mandated.
4. 3 warnings over a span of 1 to 2 months, a 4 week suspension is mandated.
5. 3 warnings over a span of a week, a permanent normal ban is mandated.
6. Obvious trolling (if posting abuse or offensive images), immediate permanent emergency ban is mandated (where all posts of this member is hidden from members' view).
NOTE: Each warning will cost the member 1,000 blessings, as a deterrent. Warnings are permanent. Members can appeal to the Senior member of the Staff Team that the Moderator belongs to if they question the moderator action (please do not post about it in public). We hope that members respect our rules at all times here.
