The way infractions and bans work

So I've had a poke around in the modCP and it seems like this is the case.

All infractions/warnings are just called "warnings" with points assigned to them. In our case a warning will be considered a 0 point warning, an infraction being anything above that (1 point warning, 2 point warning, etc).

There are three different types of bans (all can be temp or perma):

- Moderate posts (basically Coventry) - I don't know if the user is alerted that this is happening. If someone can guinea pig for me here, that would be great.

- Removal of posting privilages

 - Revoking access to the site. (I've heard reports that this also currently acts as an IP ban even if you're signed out)

Bans also have to be accompanied with a "warning" (doesn't matter how many points it is).

It also seems like there isn't a publicly viewable notice that a person is banned. I can go on the user's profile and see the restrictions there but I don't know if you, the users, can see that too. I've already poked @Carenath about it to see if there's a fix.

Alright, here's what "Moderate Posts" does :3

Edit: Here's what it looks like after posting, as a user, for those curious.

Good to know!

edit: Also seems like an email is sent whenever any moderation action with regards to warnings/bans is applied.

Update:

Just noticed, I did get an email telling me about this. It tells me the post I received the warning for, who gave it, the penalty (in this case 0 points + content moderation for an indefinite period of time), and an extra note (in this case just saying "Test")

So it does give sufficient information from the looks of it.

Mhmm. No trace of it on my end either.

Even though we're notified of posts in the mod queue, we're not notified when warnings are revoked, and we're not notified by email when warnings are given.  Carenath will have to tweak the audit trail settings if it's possible.

Already better than vBullshit

Also when I revoke a warning the only things I can do are "delete" (just removing it from the logs, not reversing it) and "revoke and delete". It doesn't seem like there's a "revoke" on its own.
