Member Banning: Infraction Points and Refunds Explained

[Varon]

Hi,

If one is a member who subscribed to one or five year. Do they also get banned if they violated or exceeded the infraction points? (is the money refunded?) Also how many infraction points before one gets booted out here? Thanks.

Here are the rules:

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.

It doesn't matter if the member is subscribed or not.
