Disciplinary Action:
A member may be issued either a warning or an infraction if deemed warranted by an admin or mentor (usually from guideline noncompliance). Infractions range from 1 to 10 "points", depending on the severity of the violation; warnings carry no points. If a member accrues 8 or more infraction points, he or she will be automatically banned from Physics Forums for a period of 10 days. If a member receives any infraction after having returned from a temporary ban, that member will then be banned permanently. Obvious, incorrigible spamming or trouble making will be met with a permanent ban.
An infraction is a type of offense or violation of a rule or law that is less serious than a misdemeanor or felony. It is typically punishable by a fine or other penalty, rather than imprisonment.
Examples of infractions can include traffic violations such as speeding or running a red light, littering, jaywalking, underage drinking, or other minor offenses.
An infraction is typically considered less serious than a misdemeanor or felony. While these types of offenses may also involve breaking a rule or law, they are often accompanied by more severe penalties, including potential imprisonment.
In most cases, infractions do not appear on a person's criminal record. This is because they are not considered serious enough to warrant inclusion on a record that is typically reserved for more serious offenses.
Yes, an infraction can be challenged in court. If a person wishes to dispute an infraction, they can usually schedule a hearing with a judge to present their case and potentially have the infraction dismissed or reduced.
