Infraction points may vary from post to post
All users offenses will stay logged even after points expire for them.. If a user reaches 10 points and their offense doesnt qualify for a 1-day ban, they will be permanently banned from the site.
You can check your warning level and view comments left by moderators if you are warned and given points. It is possible to have your points decreased for being a positive influence on the site. It is not possible to have negative warning points (i know some smart-ass might try and ask that question)
