Okay, so you have adopted the points system to. Over at the traxxas r/c forum I got 20 pts on the first day for saying POS. lol

Using a TLA (three letter acronym) is one thing, but using the entire phrase is another.

The profanity filter catches most things around here, but there are a few who are trying to push the limits. Seeing stars in every post is really getting old... people need to either develop their vocabulary or learn how to not use that kind of language. You'd think on a "tech" forum people would have and use a little intelligence...

Either way, the infraction system is actually a good thing, even if a few do not agree with it.

j369852147412 would win that wizzing match by 20 points. Both of you were caught in the fallout of the "blaze of glory" spam attack.

Hopefully, it's not very strict here. In a forum i am member in Greece, they ban you even if you copy a topic and paste it to another forum. The infraction points never expire, and if somebody does something illegal to the terms of the forum for second time, they receive an immediate ban as well as an ip-ban .

Cross-posting will get you an infraction, but they do expire.

Avoid spam, watch the language, and don't flame and you'll be fine as frog hair.
