- Users have the possibility of jumping straight to permanent ban if he or she commits a permanent ban offense or if enough offenses accumulate the 16 points necessary.
- "Infractions expire in 75 days" <-- this only applies to new infractions; the old ones are unchanged
From the new rules on youve got 16 points to amount before a permanent ban. Would your old points carry over if they expire at X date according to the old rules?
ideas arent bad, though.
It's specifically stated on multiple occasions that changes aren't retroactive. All of our old points still count. The only difference now is that instead of one point left, I'll have 3 (because of the two added points). All points accumulated from the first ban stay, and are essentially put into a "safe box" where they aren't shown, but still count. Points earned post-ban are cumulative with the points in the "safe box" but show as a clean slate. So rather than 16 points (14 points previously) what you need is 8 + 8 (or 7 + 7)
