Once you get infracted, you'll be given from 0-5 points depending on the gravity of your offense and the well being of the person of infracted you. Once you reach a certain amount of active points, you'll be banned depending on how many points are active at the moment. Take note that the points must be active to be counted for a ban. Fortunately, active points expire mostly in 7-10 days depending on the person who banned you.
5 points = 1 day ban
10 points = 1 week ban
20 points = Permanent Ban
