A few questions about infraction?

[moonman239]

1) If I have x points on my account, how many days will I have restricted access to the forums?

2) When do the infractions expire?

Check out your control panel, "my pf", it should tell you how long the infractions are to last.

No, what I mean is, how long do infractions in general (not just the ones I've received) last?

The most common expiration period for low-point infractions is 3 months, but it varies depending on lots of things. A temp ban is for 10 days, I believe. The Rules link at the top of the page addresses this too:

Disciplinary Action:

A member may be issued either a warning or an infraction if deemed warranted by an admin or mentor (usually from guideline noncompliance). Infractions range from 1 to 10 "points", depending on the severity of the violation; warnings carry no points. If a member accrues 8 or more infraction points, he or she will be automatically banned from Physics Forums for a period of 10 days. If a member receives any infraction after having returned from a temporary ban, that member will then be banned permanently. Obvious, incorrigible spamming or trouble making will be met with a permanent ban.
