If you have received a warning, account restriction, ban, etc. you might want to read this first. All information about this will be in this thread so you know exactly what to do when you receive judgement from the hammer! 
Warning
Warnings are given if you have broken a small rule or haven't been warned before. We can give unlimited warnings per user, but I don't think we would ever have to give that many.
Private Message Ban
Private message bans are given if someone reports your PM and it's been reviewed and determined offensive. You are able to read private messages and reply, but you cannot create new conversations. Private message bans can last from 1 minute to forever.
Private Message Termination
Private message termination is when a major or general completely disables the PM feature for your account. Since it's a termination, it lasts forever.
Account Disabling
If your account is disabled it means you can't sign into it until the restriction expires or is removed. You can still sign into another account or use the forum as a guest, so you still will have access.
Ban
Dun, dun, duuuun! The mighty heavy ban hammer. If you are unfortunately struck by this hammer you will be unable to use the entire board completely. The ban will even restrict your access to viewing the forum unless you find a way to sign out. Bans can last from 1 minute to forever.
IP Ban
IP bans are the most dangerous of all. If you get a leader angry you might be bashed over the head with the superior ban hammer. Once you are IP banned an account ban will likely follow. IP bans can last from 1 minute to forever and will not allow you to access the board unless you use a VPN or get a new router (which we don't recommend).
If you have been banned and you want to request to be unbanned or know why you were banned, please make a thread here. Please know that we do not remove temporary bans unless they are really long and they were given unreasonably.
