- PM (unofficial) Warnings: A warning sent to you via PM by a staff member reminding you that you were a little out of line somewhere. The staff member will show you where you were out of line and will link to which rule was broken in the Universal Rules.
- Official Warnings: A warning will be appended to your account using phpBB's warning system. Official warnings are given if the member has committed a serious offense or if the member continues to commit the same offense as the one in the PM warning.
-- If you receive a PM warning, it will be listed among your unread PMs.
-- If you receive an official warning, an email will be sent to your address stating that you received a warning.
-- After 90 days of age, an official warning expires from your account. (It is possible to return to 0 warnings on your account after receiving an official warning.)
-- If you reach 3 official warnings, the staff will deactivate your account. We try our hardest not to give the third official warning, but you must work to improve your behavior just as we work to make it a safe environment for everyone.
I'll add this information to the Universal Rules.
