Self-Moderated Board & Banning Penalties For Unruly Posters

The Apostolic Friends Forum is for the most part a self-moderated discussion board. If you feel that a user is not in compliance with the rules of this board please use the report button http://www.apostolicfriendsforum.com...ons/report.gif to report inappropriate posts, or send a private message to an Admin. The Admin will make a determination to allow the post, remove the post and warn the user, or immediately remove the user.

Admin may remove any offensive post, or ban any members at the sole discretion of the Admin on duty at that time. In the event a thread is closed, or a person is banned, Admin staff will review the situation, and either agree to uphold the ban, or reinstate the poster. If you are banned, you have forfeited your right to communicate and post in the forums. Persons attempting to access AFF via another user ID (new or existing) are in further violation of their previous banning condition(s) and may be subject to an immediate, permanent banning. Persons relaying communications from banned users may also be banned at Admin discretion. You may receive no warning before you are banned. Discussing the ban of another member openly is prohibited. It is your responsibility to have read the rules and to know them. If you break them it will be assumed that at the time you knew you were breaking them. With the exception of those that are just "out of control", we will follow the following guidelines for banning:

First Offense: 3 day ban
Second Offense: 7 day ban
Third Offense: 1 month ban
Fourth Offense: 3 months - 1 year OR Permanent ban (at Admin's discretion)

Any member who is banned can petition Admin via email to ask for reinstatement prior to the ban being lifted. Admin will review this and make their decision.
