Warning System Outline

[trinitywolf]

This board uses a warning system to keep track of those who refuse to follow the TOS. Rules are enforced to make this site enjoyable for a wide spread audience as our point is to spred the love of reptiles and amphibians to many different types of people. With that goal in mind, the TOS is enforced and these "Warnings" only reflect those terms which our memebers agree to by taking their membership here at RTB.
The following list includes the types of Warnings, a description, points allotted, ban type and some other misc. information included in our "Warning System". "Warning Maturity" refers to the # of days the warning will stay on your record.
We hope you find this information useful, but never use it.
