If it's set up fully, they are a way to "punish" "misbehaving" users.....
For example, if someone accumulates, say, 3 infractions, the Webmasters can put the user in a group established that might give no access to some forums..... That's just an example though...
But I don't believe Sarge has it configured like that....Eat Us And Smile - The Originals

I don't think we should have it. There is enough hate here as it is.The heart is on the left. The blood is red.Comment

We use "infractions" at another site I mod. But I think the premise is sort of antithetical to what Sarge is trying to conduct here and to the spirit of the site. The truth is that most people know they're trolling or being festering douche-nozzles, so reminding them with a demerit is sort of redundant. It does give the appearance of some sort of due process though. But anyone banned here is long past any due process as generally they're threatening the site...Comment

The biggest issue raised by the "time-out/limited access" initiative is one of utter stupidity. OK, some bozo is acting up, or offering an opinion (or opinions) contrary to what other folks nominally support, so they get sent to a room where they can view the site, yet not participate? Isn't it blatantly egotistical (and highly improbable) to believe that the user will stand around on the sidelines, not able to engage? And who ultimately pulls the trigger on that decision, and is it possibly weighted by personal feelings?
For my part, I really don't give a rat's ass about anything anyone has to say or post around here, particularly if I happen to disagree. I consider who said it, and judge things by prior experience. You can obviously tell when someone is being truthful, thoughtful or merely jerking your gherkin. The only things that bunch up my BVDs are unwarranted personal attacks, and publishing somebody's private information. Sorry folks, that is a line that simply can not be crossed, as anyone that has ever had the misfortune to personally witness can tell ya. So ban the fucker and get on with life.
And since the majority of us here are merely filling time in between cigarette, lunch and bathroom breaks while at work, what difference does it all make in the first place? Having said that, if you happen to be amongst the minority of people that only have a "life" via the internet...well shit, I honestly don't have an answer for you, other than to say best of luck.

I have yet to see any fan site that doesn't have hate in it. It's just not this one. What's interesting is I wonder if people are overboard on the asshole bit because they are having fun yanking people's chains or if it's because of the anonymous nature of the internet they are their true selves and just let it flow. They can say stuff on the internet they never would have the balls to say to a person face to face.
It's probably a little of both. It's kind of a fantasy world for some people where others just want information.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Yeah it's pretty obvious Sarge values free speech. Most sites don't allow political and religious discussion because of all the fights those topics cause. When I saw Sarge had a section on political discussion I went holy shit, he's opening pandora's box with that one.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Good. Perhaps at some point you can take off your training wheels, lol.
One of the necessary attributes for membership here is to have a thick skin, and also, have no fear of telling someone they are a fucking idiot, while at the same time being a useful and productive member of the Roth Army.
From what I have seen, you are doing very well so far.
