Whats does it mean to be banned?
Members who violate SPs posting guidelines may be banned from participation in the forums. They can still read and send PMs, read forum threads, and contribute and view non-forum material. Abusers of the forums may be banned by any of the elves for a period of time ranging from a week to forever. Warnings may or may not be issued beforehand. Those deemed to be trolling (usually newer members with no contributions) may have their accounts summarily deleted. A banned member may not create new avatars/memberships in order to circumvent banning. They may also not send email or PMs to other members to have their views posted by proxy. If you have been banned from the forums, respect the banning, take your time out, and you will allowed back in when your sentence has run its course. SummitPost reserves the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way. If you notice a post that you consider inappropriate, please PM the elves. Such
