Once an infraction has expired, shouldn't it be expunged from the user's public record? Otherwise, it basically hasn't expired has it?
As jtbell explained, whether a particular infraction has expired or not simply determines whether it contributes to your "infraction point total". The record remains to allow us to keep track of repeat offenders and as a reference should the validity of the infraction be called into question. However, please note that your infraction record is not publicly viewable; only you, the mentors and the administrators have the permissions necessary to view your infraction record.DaveC426913 said:Once an infraction has expired, shouldn't it be expunged from the user's public record?

When an infraction expires, it means that the allotted time for the infraction has passed and the consequences or penalties associated with it are no longer in effect. This could be due to a specific timeframe set by the governing body or agency, or it could be based on individual circumstances.
It is possible for an expired infraction to still show up on a background check, as the records may still exist in a database. However, the expiration of an infraction typically means that it is no longer considered relevant or valid, and it should not have a significant impact on your record.
This is a complex issue and can vary depending on the specific infraction and circumstances. In some cases, an expired infraction may still have consequences, such as being taken into consideration for a job or housing application. However, it is important to understand the laws and regulations in your area and seek legal advice if necessary.
In some cases, an expired infraction can be removed from your record. This could be through a formal process of expungement or sealing of records, or it could happen automatically after a certain amount of time. It is important to check the specific laws and regulations in your area to see if this is an option for you.
The purpose of expunging an expired infraction is to remove it from your record and essentially treat it as if it never happened. This can be beneficial for individuals who want to move on from their past mistakes and have a clean slate. It can also help with job and housing opportunities, as the infraction will not appear on background checks.
