    Dont like this infraction thingy at all. Back to basics ;)


    I think its a very good idea. If the rules can be sorted out and a fair system put in place and not abused then it could be great.

    They way I see it happening would be very similar to the PP system.

    break a law get x amunt of points. After y amount of points you get banned. After z amount of points you get site banned etc.

    Points expire after a set amount of time.

    If you feel the points were unjust you bring it to feedback/another forum and senior mods get to decide if it was unjust or what ever. if your case is thrown out you get double points.

    May mean a lot of less crap in feedback

    It should also be noted that when an infraction is given for a post, the post gets marked with a red card (infraction) or yellow card (warning). As per the attached.

    A thread is also started in another forum to discuss the infraction. Along with the rest of the system, that's in testing at the moment.

    I'm so getting picked on!

    Do the Mods think its workable?

    Rather partial to a reported post myself.
    With a cup of tea?

    The all caps post de-capifier has been around for a year or two, since the last VB upgrade.

    I notice there is also a feature TO STOP YOU FROM SHOUTING.

    Basically, if you post in all caps, vBulletin "fixes" it for you and changes the words to lower case.

    Edit: Ok, that did work. It didn't work over on BG+RH. I is confused?????

    I also like how the page no longer bounces back when you are editing a post and using formatting.
    Eg. When using the quick edit on a long post, the post would reset to the top of the page after hitting ctrl + b.
    That doesn't happen any more.
