Here is the forums a FAQ, if something isn't posted here PM an Staff member, it will then be posted here.
Q. What's a warning level?
A. The warning level that you see on your profile and messages is like an infraction system depending on which rule you break you warning level will go down a bit. Once it is empty you will be banned.
Q. How do I become staff?
A. Do not request to become staff, if you do you may be punished and are less likely to become staff. You must be chosen by a member of staff as an exceptional member, at which point you will be PM'd to make sure you would like to be promoted. Maybe in the future we will hold nominations for new Mods in which members can vote for which members they think would be good.
Q. I'm a Shiny Member but I have been Pm'd asking if I would like to become a Mod, can I be both?
A. Unfortunately NO, we are still working on a possible solution to that problem, until then you will have lose one of your status in order to become a different status. Sorry! This is the main reason we PM you first!
