Violations of Site Rules

The CABG is a very strict site, and we enforce our rules to a high degree. We are understanding about new members and how they must adapt, but repeated violators will be punished. Below is the list of how we punish and deal with violators of the Constitution. Posts with violations maybe deleted at staff discretion.

Discipline for violations of Constitution:

First two Violations: Colored text pointing out what was wrong and how to correct it will be edited into the post containing the violation by a site moderator or administrator.

Third Violation: A private message will be sent by a staff member to the violator, warning him to cease violations.

Fourth Violation: A temporary ban will be placed on the member who is performing the violation. The ban will last anywhere from three days to a week.

Fifth Violation: A fifth violation will result in deletion of the member's account.

Sixth Violation by previous violator with a new account: A violator with five violations will be allowed to return with a new account (subject to the judgement of the staff), but if the violator has one more violation of the Constitution, the IP address of the violator will be banned and the address of the violator will be blocked from accessing the website.


The staff of the CABG forum reserve the right to ban or delete any member's account at any time. This may take the place of a standard violation punishment, subject to the opinions of the CABG staff. The CABG staff also reserves the right to substitute any violation discipline with a discipline that they believe seems fit to the violation.

What a ban list would look like from ADMIN Rook:

Warning on 1st Violation
Warning on 2nd Violation
1 day BAN on 3rd Violation
Warning on 4th Violation
3 days BAN on 5th Violation
Warning on 6th Violation
5 days BAN on 7th Violation
7 days BAN on 8th Violation
14 days BAN on 9th Violation
30 days BAN on 10th Violation
Blocked on 11th Violation

If these happen within 2 months you could expect this but is this was over 2 years you can expect warnings or short bans. Bans and Blocks are subject to staff discretion and may be not follow the above scenario(s).
