Why Didnt you get a warning

[-J-]

Regarding forum warning levels, John... we use these here as a low-level deterrent, and they rarely last longer than a week. We don't have a set limit on how many warnings are needed before we just ban someone; that decision's up to the mod based on prior history, severity of the offense, etc. From my conversations with Brandon, Emmie and other IG mods over the past year, I believe that the same holds true for in-game mods. A system that rigid would indeed lead to its own set of problems.

However, because bans are permanent here, in general we discuss with at least one other forum mod whether or not a ban's really necessary or if there's some way to settle things with just a warning or a discussion in PMs.
