WARNING SYSTEM

These can be earned by breaking any of the above rules.
There are three warning levels depending on the severity of the action.
Warnings are issued for a fixed period of time - then they can be removed.
Further bad behavior during a warning period risks a ban.

Ways to get a WARNING or a BAN:

Arguing with a MOD/ADMIN. They have the warning and ban buttons, you don't.
Advertising other game sites, download sites & forums.
Link stealing (automatic ban!).

Flame wars (both people involved will receive a warning).
Racist Talk or Ideas (automatic ban!).
