Warning System

[Alex]

Well, how is your warning system? After how many warnings do members get banned? Under what circumstances would you immediately ban a user and not consider giving that said member a warning? For me, it's usually three live warnings that last six months, and then you're banned.

On my forum, it is very relaxed but it depends on what rules are broken. Some will have a warning system where you can break the rule 3 times before you are banned while others will be an outright ban.

I too follow three warnings a year, before banning. I review red-flagged posts regularly. If the post is hateful or vulgar, would ban the member immediately.

I think that having a three warning system is a very good idea because it shows that you are giving them the opportunity to try and correct the mistakes that they have made and personally I think that I stick to 3 as well because it is generally accepted in baseball. As they say three strikes and you're out

I think it is important that they should be warning systems in levels. For example if you are able to accumulate up to 4 warning then you are going to have a time out for 2 months

I would never ban the member instantly at all. I think that we all make mistakes and we all deserve a second or even a third chance. I would like to know what made the member do something wrong despite the fact that terms and conditions clearly prohibit the act.

I think three warnings in the last 6 months is a justifiable warning system. If I ever build a community, I will also use this warning system. I have heard that some owners ban user right away, which I think is unjustifiable.

Many members may not be aware of what they are doing. This might be due to lack of knowledge and I do not think that they deliberately spam or violate the rules all the time. However, having a warning system is crucial on any site or forum.

I believe that using a three warning system is a great idea because it demonstrates that you are giving them a chance to try and correct their errors. As for me, I believe that I will continue to use three warnings because it is customary in baseball.
Three strikes and you're out, as the saying goes.

I believe three warning system is ok before banning a member from one's forum. I won't ban a member immediately until such member have been warned three times

If the member violates the obvious rules, such as threatenin g other members, posting copied content, etc. I will ban him outright, however, for minor violations such as advertising through PM, I will send warnings
