In order to keep Pearlshipping Vault a safe and friendly environment, Warning Levels (WLs) are to be implemented when rules are broken. The rules list is detailed here: Rules (last revised:08/09/2015)
Warning Levels are added to user profiles by any staff member who has the power. If your Warning Level increases, a message will automatically be sent to you informing you of your new Level and the rule(s) you have broken.
An appeal can be made to staff to remove some or all of your warning levels at any time, as long as you are not yet permanently banned (this is not to imply that your appeal is guarranteed to be accepted).
If your PM function has been disabled, you will still be able to message staff to appeal.
Note: Warning Levels are doubled for staff.
1. Keep it legal!
Illegal content grants you +10 WLs.
2. No discrimination
Discrimination adds +30 WLs.
This will be implemented if you clearly bully and mean what you say. The friendly roast of the odd atheist or a bit of racist banter etc. are generally tolerated, depending on the context.
3. Keep it decent
Indecency adds an additional +10 WLs (with the exception of X-rated content, which results in an instant permanent ban).
4. Make a point
Spamming on threads adds +20 WLs per post.
+5. Bullying
Reports of bullying will be investigated and, if proven true, +30 WLs will be granted to the bully.
Warning Level 50: 48 hours disabled account + 7 days disabled PM.
After that, any more WLs will result in another 12 hours disabled account and 5 days disabled PM until
Warning Level 100: Permanent ban.
These figures are flexible and can be changed according to staff discretion providing the decision is justified and, if requested to do so, backed up by other staff members.
Stay safe, have fun!
