Where is forced induction?

Did he disappear along with the B man?

Did everybody else know when he left and I am as usual out of the loop?

This is the 3rd time that I know of that he's been banned since I started hanging around here - and that's been just a little over a year now...

Infraction System
This forum uses an infraction system to penalize violations of the forum rules, to track ongoing violations, and to potentially ban multiple offenders. Though the infraction system is the primary way of moderating the forum, at any time a moderator(s)' judgment can supersede the infraction system and a moderator can take whatever actions are deemed necessary required to settle a specific situation.

Operation of the System:

There are two types of penalties - warnings and infractions. Warnings do not have any points associated with them and are typically issued for first time violations of a minimal nature (moderators' decision). Infractions are usually worth 1 point and expire 6 months from the issuing date. If 5 points are accumulated by a member, a ban is automatically issued by the system. The ban will remain in effect until the first infraction expires and the point count drops to 4 or fewer.

Some infractions carry more than one point. Any disrespect to a moderator, whether on the forum, or via PM will carry a minimum of 3 points.

Visibility of the System:

All members can see the warnings, infractions, and points accumulated by other members. Below the post count will be three numbers (if the member has any warnings or infractions). The first number is the number of warnings. The second number is the total number of infractions. The final number, in parentheses, is the total point count.

All members can see if a specific post was deemed to be unacceptable. In the lower right hand corner of the post will be a yellow card if a warning was issued for that specific post. A red card will be present if an infraction was issued for that specific post.
If you have any questions regarding this system or about an infraction you received, please contact your forum moderator(s).

So, the longest anyone gets banned is for 6 months (multiple points-carrying infractions in a short period), and there is no limit to how many times a person can rack up enough infractions to get the ban-stick before the ban is permanent?

Never heard of a policy quite like that before. A lot of places its 3 strikes and you're out - permanently.

Well, if you really want to know, give it a try....
Nothing like personal experience for learning.

Attacking a person as opposed to discussing an issue. Like when you call someone an idiot for stating their opinion rather than respectfully disagreeing with them and saying why you disagree.

Or inciting an personal argument.

What? You got some kinda problem with that?
