    Default User Infractions

    As our board grows bigger, unfortunately it becomes harder to police what is being posted. Anyone who has been here more than a day knows that we do not tolerate 1) SPAM, 2) insults to our members, and 3) inappropriate behavior. So it only stands to reason that we start to do something about it.

    Effective immediately, an Infraction System has been added to the forum. This will allow the moderators to give warnings and "points" for people who violate the rules. Please understand that these are not personal attacks in any way but just a better way for us to track what is happening in the forum, educate members about forum policies, and keep the site at optimum operation.

    Right now we are starting with 5 categories of infractions:

    1) Spammed Advertisements
    2) Insulting Other Members
    3) Signature Rule Violations
    4) Inappropriate Language
    5) Violation of forum posting rules including discussing cancellations, mentioning competitor sites, or discussing product names from surveys.

    Our goal is not to be militant about these, but we do need to be consistent. You will receive a "warning" on your first violation unless the violation is so egregious that the MOD feels the need to assess a point. In the coming days, we will determine what the penalty for incurring multiple points will be. My hope is that we never get that far and that the warnings themselves will serve our purposes.

    Please feel free to discuss this with us. We want to ensure that our forum continues to not only be a fun place to be but also not a liability in terms of losing advertisers for Sunshine Rewards.

    Rules can be found in this thread -> http://www.sunshinerewardsforum.com/showthread.php?t=1

    UH OH! I think this is an I'm the Momma moment !!!

    Seriously though, I understand that to keep our community as sunshiny as it is now the rules need to be enforced.

    We are in our terrible two's now.

    Duly warned! I don't like to get into trouble or cause it, so you won't have to worry about me - and hopefully no one else either. For all I've seen so far, this has been a very clean wholesome forum and I'm glad for and respect the definite efforts to keep it that way.

    SOunds good to me, I've seen how much it's grown in 3 months, and it will keep on growing which is a good thing, but rules are made for a reason!!

    I've been guilty of it in the past and i know I try hard to watch what I'm doing, but you as a business owner need to do what's best for you!

    I agree with it 100%.

    Can someone tell me where the rules for Signatures are (for rule #3)? Or is that just you can't post referrals links (other than your SR#) etc. I remember vaguely reading about them but can't find it now.

    Didn't know about the product names, thought you just couln't get in depth specific, but now I do!

    If you think you know all the answers, it just means you haven't been asked all the questions.
