In the event of repeated issues arising from any forum member that don't warrant banning, a member may be placed on probation. Probation members' posts will be hidden until activated by a moderator or admin. Probation will continue indefinitely or until the forum member concerned can demonstrate he/she can't interact reasonably with other forum members.
