disciplinary points

Actually we don't make banning decisions based on points.

The warnings serve as a reminder of the Posting Guidelines. Most people simply acknowledge the error and the warning is reversed. Some decide that the Posting Guidelines are stupid and that they can defame companies or abuse other posters as they "have a right to free speech".

The system does award points automatically, but we don't pay any attention to them.

People get a few warnings and then a final warning.

If it's very serious e.g. obnoxious behaviour or defamation, they might get only one warning.

Advertisers and spammers are banned immediately.
