What does one need to do to get permabanned?

And, how you you check the amount of infractions that one has?

How does one go back to 0 on your infractions?

Permabans are handed out to spammers and ban evaders (someone previously permabanned). I haven't seen any new permabans of regular members in a long time. The current infractions system sort of lets things take care of themselves as a middle ground between no action and permabans.

Moderators and admins can view the number of active infractions and total active points. PM one of us and I imagine we can assist.

Infractions expire after set amounts of time, currently 5-10 days depending on the infraction type.

Yet being fun is not lame, necessarily. Ah, the puzzles of our world.

You get a permaban by being so troublesome that you're not welcome here anymore. This generally boils down to refusing to listen to moderators even after repeated tempbans and/or making serious threats.

Infractions don't have anything to do with permabans. They can only lead to temporary bans. Permabans are personally approved by the admins.

Banananation = a banana republic which isn't a republic, just a nation. Like the UK.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.
