News Team
These are the news people of OwnedCore hand picked by the staff, they write reviews on recent games and other news for OwnedCore.
Helpers
A helper is like a mini moderator, this is the trial stage for becoming a moderator.
Moderators
A moderator gets the privilege of helping clean up OwnedCore, the Moderators are assigned to their individual parts of the forum.
The moderators are handpicked by the administrators of OwnedCore, asking to be a mod will not help increasing your chances for being a mod, but decreasing it instead, meaning DO NOT ask to be a mod.
Super Moderators
Supermoderators are moderators who have moved up in grades and therefore received more powers and responsibility. They have more powers than the average moderator and can moderate every section.
Administrator
Adminstrators are a very select few that are in charge of keeping OwnedCore up and running as well as making sure that everything is going smoothly and that people are enjoying their stay.
They are in charge of different things between each of them such as donations, keeping the site running, username changes and other major changes unable to be done by the rest of the staff team.
Infractions and Infraction Points
When you break the rules in a post or thread, there is a likely chance of you receiving an infraction from a Moderator as punishment.
If you receive 3 separate infractions (On separate occasions), you will automatically be given a 2 day ban from the forums.
If you receive 12 Infraction POINTS (Each separate infraction can give a number of infraction points, decided by the Moderator depending on how bad the offense was) the result is a permanent ban from OwnedCore.
Expired Infractions
Every infraction you receive will expire within a set amount of time. When an infraction you've received expires, it will still be displayed on your profile as it had before, but it will say 'Expired' and will no longer count towards the 12 Infraction points.
Though expired infractions don't count point-wise, they still count infraction-wise, so it still counts towards the 2 day ban. Expired infractions are kept on your profile because they allow Moderators to see what sort of trouble you may have been up to in the past if needed, and so that even waiting a bit after getting in trouble won't save you from a suspension.
