[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 8069925, member: 19675"] It’s not just the number of warnings. Things like how many accumulated in a given window of time is a factor, as is the exact nature of the warning. For example, someone who occasionally drops an F-bomb will probably have more leeway than someone with the same number of warnings who repeatedly uses bigoted slurs, who posts NSFW imagery or pirated intellectual property. There’s also contrition to take into account. Occasionally, someone simply messes up. Years ago, I got a week’s ban from Umbran for saying something about a religion. It wasn’t anything I actually believed, I just got sloppy with my composition and wound up slandering a billion people by accident. But I said it, and the punishment was deserved, since the mods are not mind readers. They can only work with the stuff on the screen. But I also publically apologized for what I posted.* So the moderation staff realized there probably wouldn't be a repeat of that incident. *Which, amusingly, got me dinged for commenting on moderation in public. 😂 [/QUOTE]
