    Can someone please explain to me what an infraction is and the purpose of it. I looked it up and got this; - "a violation or infringement of a law or agreement." But I just want to see if Boards has a different meaning for it. Thanks.

    It's in the FAQs
    An Infraction (or Red Card) adds 1 point to your infraction total. These are given out for serious offenses, such as insulting other users, and are usually accompanied by a forum-ban. If you get 10 active infractions you will be site banned temporarily for 1 week. However, users at risk of getting 10 infractions are generally causing lots of trouble and catching the attention of the Admins - who may end up permanently banning such users anyway.
    Infraction points expire after 10 days. Take them for what they are: Stern Warnings and do not get too upset over getting one (i.e. please don’t start a Help Desk thread). If you believe that you have received an unfair infraction, please see the appeals section. If a mistake has been made by the moderator, infractions and warnings can be reversed.
    Infractions make keeping an eye on potentially troublesome users easier for our moderators.
