Yup, it is just that easy to avoid getting banned. 

Except for the fact that it's not always obvious.

There was a modding issue and I was accidentally suspended for six months. I was pretty sure I was banned. It didn't take too long to get over it.

But I just got back a few weeks ago, and I'm not going to leave by my own will anytime soon.

I'm also curious to know (on average) how many minor moderations (none over the punishment of losing points) does it take to get banned.

Well, maybe they would make an exception, but moderators are tight here, so you may not slip by. Then again, that attitude of the mods does keep this place spam free.

Yes, but I'm wondering about roughly how many minor moderations would it take on average to get someone banned, such if that's all the person got.

There is no set number as it is at our discretion, mods and staff alike, to decided when enough is enough and that this person will never learn. You shouldn't have a lot of minor moderations as you are suppose to learn from them and not repeat.

I know you don't get modded after like 15, unless all of your moderations were serious. It's just the content of the moderations that matters... Right?

i wouldn't say that i'm scared anymore.  i was kind of weary of speaking my mind when i first joined, but i've figured out that if you don't post mean stuff, or curse words, that i'm pretty much safe from being banned.

i know that if you do something horrible, you could get banned, but i thought if you had a lot of minor moderations you would eventually get banned... you know like if you hit moderation #30, you would get banned...

I'm not really careful but I just got banned the other day. My ban was lifted a couple days ago. I don't visit system wars because there's a lot of stupid people in there, and I called someone a moron and got banned for a week. No warning, and I've never had a warning for flaming before. But eh, I know they had a sticky about it. I just didn't really think it was that big of a deal.

I feel obligated to clarify the confusion regarding bans and suspensions everytime I see it.  If you were banned, you would not be able to come back.  You were suspended.  Now, the reason why System Wars carries such a severe penalty for flaming is because it just doesn't stop.  Although you didn't know, there are people who've been suspended for flaming before, and they still do it.  It is a big deal, because no one should be flaming in the first place.  Honestly, how come we can't have civilized discussions anymore without having to result to insults?

i'm guessing the majority of the suspensions come from the syetem wars board :P

What you call an insult I call an opinion, but hey, that's just me. A warning would have done fine for me but I guess some people are just that slow. The only reason I didn't think that was a big deal for me was that I've not had any flaming problems in the past. And banned/suspended both mean the same thing in my book, so I guess it's just a matter of perception.

If you ban a ban-dodger, couldn't he dodge that ban as well? I'm confused...Â
