An infraction is an offense punishable by a fine only and which the law does not declare to be a misdemeanor or felony. A person charged with an infraction is not entitled to a trial by jury, and is not entitled to be represented by Court-appointed counsel.

An infraction is not punishable by imprisonment. A person charged with an infraction shall not be entitled to a trial by jury or not entitled to be represented by a public defender or appointed counsel at public expense unless arrested and not released.

An infraction is a semi-automated reminder from the moderators about a rules violation. The forum system sends you a standard message about the rule, and may include an explanatory message from one of the moderators as well. Even though one moderator’s name is shown, it is not a personal issue; the moderators operate as a team and know of all assigned infractions. Infractions are private. The infractions you see on your user profile page are visible only to you and the moderators. Although the forum system assigns “points” and durations to infractions, they are meaningless in practice. We do not use these features. Instead, we use infractions merely as reminders about the rules.
