Infraction System
We run on a "3 strikes and your out" system here on Technibble. If you break the rules you will be given a "strike". These strikes last for 2 months and are cumulative. Basically, if you get one two month infraction and a few days later you get another one, it will take 4 months for those infractions to come off your account.
