Edit by Aoki - Explaining Warning Levels, Warning Points and Bans

Whenever you receive a warning, warning level is added to your account. You can either see this as warning level or warning point, the name doesn't really matter but might confuse someone.

The max warning level someone can reach is 100% (10 Points).
If you receive a warning with 2 points, you'll receive 20% warning level. If you receive a warning with 3 points, you'll receive 30% warning level and so on.

About bans:
  • Tempban: 30% (3 Points)
  • Permban: 100% (10 Points)

*Note: The tempban lasts for 2 days.

Yep, it's from 1-10.
Not totally sure about the time periods, we'll wait for Aoki to explain those.

Yes, the rule has been there for a long time.

We'll probably update the rules in the near future, some stuff is in the works

I don't mean to be "that guy" but under "Blackhat Activity" it states:

Quote:Anything illegal and/or hacking related.

Isn't releasing nulled items illegal?
