13. If you see anything suspicious going on in the forums, please PM a moderator or ~Naruto5~.

Note. Just because we may have not listed a rule, does not mean that you cannot be punished for it. Staff at AP Forum are human just like the members here at the forum so we cannot over look every little thing.
(For mods - If you are not sure whether of not something is a rule, please PM ~Naruto5~)

This is the ranking system for members which depends on the number of post you make on the fourm..

Jr. : 50 posts
Teen: 200 posts
Adult: 500 posts
Grandma/Grandpa: 1000 posts!

This is the Warning / Infraction Points System for My Anime Forums

As to Warnings - If you do something minor i.e. Double Posting, Spamming, you will be given a Warning. After 3 Warnings are given to a member, and you still get into trouble by not complying with Forum Rules, then you WILL be given infraction points in accordance to the rule breached.

More serious breach of rules i.e. Inappropriate Material, Trolling a member or Flaming a member of the forums and/or Staff of AP Fourms will result to Infractions / Ban depending on the severity of the rule broken.

If you breach a rule set by AP Forums, then you WILL be given infraction point according to the rule breached;

- Spamming - 7 Infraction Points
- Double / Multiple Posting - 7 Infraction Points
- Cross Posting - 10 Infraction Points
- Advertising if a member does not have 100 post - 15 Infraction Points
(unless admin has given you permission)
- Flamming - 20 Infraction Points
- Inapprioriate material (i.e. porn, nudity, etc) - 20 Infraction Points and Banned for a week.
- Trolling a member - 30 Infraction Points and Banned for a week.
- Flamming a member of staff i.e. Admin or Mod - 35 points and a ban for a week or 14 days

Now I sopose you see the Helth (infraction) bar below your avatar! Every member has 0 Infraction points at the begining and that the way it should stay! But if you mange somehow to get 100 Infraction points you will be banned for 7 days - 1 week! MIND THIS: EACH INFRACTION (except for flaming, trolling and i. material) will expire after 1 - 2 weks (depends on how admin/mod decides) and luckly you will get on the 0 again!

If you would like to appeal a Warning / Infraction feel free to pm naruto100% or Pyro_Flame.

These Infractions Points may be subject to change if the Punishments are too harsh or lenient.

Just to note:- If I have not added a rule associated with a punishment (i.e. A rule - Infraction Points), please let me know. But if you do something VERY suspicious which breaches a Forum Rule and I havent added a punishment to it, dont worry as you may expect to get an infraction or possibly a ban.

If you have any questions or quiries regarding the Infraction Points System, please feel free to PM any staff member!
