Ok, so there has been a LARGE bout of people posting in the forums about how they were banned from the chatroom and/or the forums, I am here to explain to you why you was.

Lets start of with the fact that if you break the rules then of course you should expect punishment. The punishments will range from a warning all the way up to a permanent ban from the PMC site but i shall provide a list of the general warning system:

1. First warning issued
2. Second warning issued
3. 1 day ban issued
4. 1 week ban issued
5. Site warning issued
6. 1 day ban from the Site issued
7. 1 week ban from the site issued
8. Permanent ban from the site issued

Now these steps have altered slightly since it has done nothing to discourage people from breaking the rules, as a chat moderator, my job is to ensure the chat rules are followed aswell as the site rules. The chat rules can be found by Clicking Here and the site rules can be found by Clicking Here.

You may also have noticed that the staff have "upped" their game when it comes to banning and discipline, well this is because you, the non-staff PMC users, don't seem to be able to follow rules properly, we have tried the nice laid back approach of telling you several times not to do something, but now, we are taking action on our words.

Moral of the story is - Read the rules and don't break them, or break them and expect a lengthy ban

Oh and the alterations that have been made for my version of the warning procedure are that steps 1 & 2 are no longer there and step 3 is now a 2 day ban. If you do not like it, you are not forced to stay on this site.
