Warning Levels (WL) and User Restrictions:

Any member who is found to be in violation of India Forums Rules and Code Of Conduct may be given a Warning Level increase by the Dev Team. 

Please note, with each Warning Levels increase it will also restrict/limit the member's access to the forum features as follows:

• 20% - First warning, so members are given a chance, without any other restrictions
• 40% - Only 15 posts (replies in topics) can be made in a day
• 60% - No new topics can be created in addition to restrictions of 40% warning level
• 80% - Restricted PM access whereby PMs can ONLY be sent to Dev Team to resolve issues, in addition to restrictions of 60% warning level
• 100% - Automatically bans the member

Warning levels can only be reduced after 3 months if the member has been active with no new warning increase and has not violated any of our forum rules. It's not an automated feature and requires the member to send a request PM (private message) to the Dev Team member who raised their warning level in order to lower the Warning Level. In the event that the PM goes unanswered for more than a week, please contact the Channel Moderator or Global Moderator with your request.
