when you break the rules (look at the top of every page, Forum Rules)
you get a warning. you'll get 1 block filled in. when you hit 4 blocks (80%), you get a suspension, (not allowing to post for a certain amount of time, i think it's 3 days). break 5 rules, and you'll get the 5th block, (100%), and get a 2 week suspension? or is it a week..

if you dont break the rules for 6 months, you will get a warning reduction. it's automated. Only if you have a warning on your account

dont break the rules, and you'll have no problems :D

It's 'Warn', not 'Wam'.

None of the breakdown you stated is actually right. :p But the fact that you can get warned is true. ;)

The thing about suspension is totally wrong, I've been suspended once for 2 days and it wasn't because I had a 80% or 100% warn ;)

I usually restrict/suspend after multiple breakages of the same rule. If you have been warned once about a rule then I figure you should know it by now.

Members can also be restricted right off the bat for some rule violations like warez.

Warez, Flam baiting & Insultings members will each get you a warning - I know, I have 60% warn because of that.

As the moderators mentioned, suspensions are handed down when they are deemed necessary, not as an automatic once you reach a certain warn level.

That's pretty much how it works on all moderated forums.
