I do think that the tariffs need to be looked at, I have seen at least two members come back this weekend, and get suspended again within less than 24 hours. It seems to make a mockery of the system.
Fair enough when you get suspended for something that isn't all that clear, but many are abusing the system because in all likeliness, they will be back on the next day. They will say that they will risk a ban instead of deleting an abusive post, I think that they should get a "Double whammy" when this is the case.
The system is designed to give a longer suspension for more offences.
For example, an infraction for "inappropriate language" carries 1 point.
The first point has no effect.
The second point will get you banned for 24 hours.
The third point will get you banned for 24 hours.
If you get onto 4 points, you're gone for three days.
If you get a 6th point upon your return, it's another five days on a HUKD break.
8 points would lead to a 2-week ban.
Sometimes we'll dish out more points for an offence if we believe that a longer break is needed to stop someone from flouting the rules, and some offences (such as FS/FT offences) carry 2 points.
