Infraction System

Our rules are enforced by our team of moderators and administrators who have the power to move, edit or delete messages as deemed appropriate, as well as to issue user warnings and infractions. Rules may be amended at any time by DaniWeb administrators. It is your responsibility to ensure you are always abiding by the rules of our community.

Members who break a rule will usually be warned, followed by a points-based infraction for subsequent offenses. When a member is given an infraction, they accrue points which remain on their record for a time period. 10 or more infraction points will result in an auto-ban from DaniWeb effective until the number of active points falls below 10.
