warning system

At Surreal*Twilight, we like to stay rather relaxed. However, we still have a set of rules that we need to uphold to keep the community running smoothly. We'll try to let you know if you've done something wrong before we take any drastic steps—but if you refuse our help and advice, we will be forced to issue an official warning.

An official warning consists of both a PM warning and a board warning. You are allowed two official warnings for breaches of role play rules before a punishment is dealt. Breaches of some OOC rules, such as those intended to keep behaviour civil, will only allow one official warning before punishment is dealt. Official warnings and punishments can only be dealt by Administrators or Global Moderators. Warnings are sent to you stating what specific rule you had broken at that time. Any further questions or confusion can be resolved over peaceful exchanges of PMs with the staff member that issued it.

Warnings become void a year after they have been issued. If you would like to know the exact date of one of your past warnings, please contact any of the staff. An example: It's June 2008. If you have prior warnings issued on Jan 07, May 07, and Feb 08, then your Jan 07 and May 07 warnings are void as they are a year old.

Specific punishments that can be enacted include (but aren't limited to) avatar revocation, permissions denied from the forums you are having issues in, and downgrade to Student—whatever punishment fits your offenses best will occur to your account.

Some offenses will not need a series of warnings, or even a verbal warning, to be given a perma-ban. Plagiarism, virus posting, trolling, etc. are automatic perma-bans.

something extra

Warnings are based completely on their circumstance; meaning, every warning comes with different reasoning. If you disagree with a warning you have received, please contact the staff member and try to calmly work it out.

Any member, even staff, can receive warnings.
