Hello,

In this update, I’d like to draw your attention to breaches of the rules. From now on, breaches of the forum rules will be penalised slightly differently.
If you breach the forum rules for the third time, you will automatically receive a permanent ban on posting new messages.
The first two offences will be punished as normal – with a ban across the entire website. Â Â A
similar system has been in place for a few months regarding requests to change usernames or passwords, with the difference being that you won’t receive a permanent ban straight away.Â
So please do read the rules, as well as the rules in the relevant sections, and make sure you follow them!

I would ask forum moderators to ensure that, when banning a user for a third offence, they send me a private message containing the user’s nickname, IP address and a link to the offence.

Thank you for your understanding!
