Say if I broke a lot of WP rules and offended a lot of people then got banned for it, how would I know exactly? Would I receive a PM from a mod to inform me that I am banned? Or would my account suddenly not be usable? Would an automatic message come up when I try to log in to WP, saying ''this user is banned''?
I just wanted to know. Sometimes the site goes a bit weird, when I click on something and suddenly a message I have never seen before comes up saying ''cannot find user joe90'' or whatever (can't quite remember, I was just using it as an example), and sometimes I think ''is this happening because I got banned suddenly for a post I wrote yesterday? Was it offensive in a way I couldn't see?''
They say the mods give warnings first, but I've heard of people getting banned straight away.
Sorry, I'm just curious.
The only way to get banned straight away when you are a regular member is by making a post that somehow attacks several members on this community in a vicious manner explicitely saying I hate x, y and z members because they did whatever and I found it extremely offensive so Im going to create a thread just to attack them
As weird as it sounds it has happened a few times.
If it is just x, y, z member is mean/wasnt nice to me you only get a warning.
You do get a final warning were its clear that its your last chance after several warnings and that implies some of us looking closely at whatever you write and banning straight away if it is warning worthy again.
We can remove some posts without going for a ban while you are on your last warning
