A note on warnings regarding policy violations
We typically use a "three strikes" approach, so that multiple warnings are always sent before accounts are suspended, and we always do our best to clearly describe the issues. (And yes, we can tell when people are receiving warnings, since they respond to them!) However, claiming that no warnings are sent allows suspended members to avoid taking responsibility for their actions, so we expect that such claims will always be made.
The most common infractions on Blogit are copying other people's work (by US law, this can result in up to $150,000 in fines as well as jail time) and verbal abuse, including threats of physical violence. Some people, as I read in a comment earlier today, consider these "small infractions". We consider them big infractions, particularly when they are repeated in an attempt to steal from others and prevent others from expressing their opinion.
For more information on the procedure we follow when reviewing policy violations, please see the Policy Violations help page.
