The Official Trik.com Rules:

Basic Overview on how infractions work
- You will get a warning for your first offense.
- Infraction on your second offense.
- Another infraction on your third offense.
- Temporary ban from the forums
- Permanent ban (accumulating a lot of infractions/warnings)

Warning Offenses:
- Double posting: Meaning making 2 posts in a row, or maybe even more. This is spam, and is not tolerated.
- Caps: Posting in caps is a serious offense. It's similar to flaming, and it's disrespectful, don't do it. It's ok in some occasions, but don't do it out of the spam forum.
- BackSeat Moderation: Don't do it, you're not a moderator. Obviously, the moderation team will lock/stick/delete the thread if needed.
- Bumping: Do not bump your topic because it's not active. If someone wants to post on it, they will.
- GraveDigging: Do not post in threads older than 14 days.


1 pt Infraction Offenses:
