Infraction System
Scamming
- Unordered List ItemWe have a strict zero-tolerance policy on scammers or fraudulent members. You will be banned. We run a hard ban first, ask questions later policy. Easier to unban you, than to reverse a scam.
- If you scam, there are no second chances.
- If you have been scammed contact the moderators with proof immediately. Waiting can allow the scammer time to strike again! Do not publicly shame them!
Misleading Information
- Users that lie to get sales, such as saying “it quit working for no reason”, when in reality you dropped it into the
First Strike
- For actions such as thread crapping, price policing, and erroneous posts your first strike will typically be a warning and having any related posts removed by the mods. This is not a personal attack on you, but we will not allow dissidence.
Second Strike
- Continuing to thread crap, price police or failure to follow posting rules will result in a 3-day suspension from posting. This is not a “ban” but is rather a period of time for you to cool down and think about your actions. Being polite and understanding will be best in this situation.
- Other actions such as failing to resolve trade disputes or arguing with a mod will immediately receive a second strike resulting in a 3-day suspension.
- Personal insulting to others or shaming will result in an immediate second strike.
- Lying to a mod about anything is an immediate second strike but can maintain any length of suspension as seen fit by the mods.
Third Strike
- If you have had a second strike within a short period, or you are being a troublesome user a third strike will result in
Permanent Ban
- If you have continued to be a disruption to the community and all previous attempts to resolve the issue have failed a permanent ban will be issued.
- Depending on the ban reason you can attempt to plead your case to all of the mods. Being rude, or childish will forfeit this right. No exceptions.
