Ok, now I am really confused. Is abil_uk making an actual point on a thread he hadn't realised he shouldn't (akin to using a pogo stick in an anti-personnel minefield) or being nice enough to give us the first test case for the new policy?

Not sure I agree/understand the point of Permanent Banning and disallowing multiple accounts.

Permanent Banning is never permanent. Its so easy to get around an IP ban its laughable. Furthermore, at some point that member might change their mind and come back to be a useful contributer.

Secondly, maybe I want to have a personal account for myself and a second account to represent a company I am authorized to represent. Or a second account just to use for any purpose that I don't want to be associated with my personal one.

Ehh not really. I was considering those as two separate issues.

Permanent Banning as a system for dealing with forum abusers isn't something I see as ideal.

According to the infractions there is a 20 point penalty simply for making a second account. Sure Reggie said its ok in some situations, but then why is it in the list of infractions? And why is there a separate list of infractions and rules where some rules appear as infractions but some infractions don't appear as rules. Whats the difference?

"No Referral Links Allowed?"

does this mean I can no longer put external links for a source?

Referral links in this case means posting a link with a referral code that aims to solicit clicks / sales to earn profit.

That post was in response to the scenario that Helmuth mentioned in this post:

Sounds similar, no?

But seriously, I believe that rule is reference to for-profit linking. Right? if so it sounds perfectly reasonable.

Edit: Reggie answered while I was typing.

I just gave my honest opinion which surely i am entitled to do ! and as i also praised this forum for being here and never made any rude comments why do you feel the need to even comment in the way you did?.
Please dont prove me right aye because i want more than anything for good fair rules to settle this community to a good standard of pleasurable reading and that starts from the top down.... Reggie and his team.

i hope this will be my last question:

"Infraction points accumulate / stack-up as well as expire. Misbehaving members accumulate infraction points and, depending on the total number the member has accumulated in a month, he/she can be banned for 1, 3, 7 or 30 days, or even forever. If a member is not permanently banned, infraction points expire within 30 days -- a member with 10 infraction points will be clean of infractions if he/she behaves for a month."


if example, I violated rules which total of 30 points, and then i am suspended for 3 days. when my account is again active, i still have 30 days before the points expire.

but i misbehave again before 30 days and fined for 10 points so does that gives me a total of 40 points and again suspended but for 7 days?
