Short on purpose. Rules nobody reads protect nobody.
The point is to give you a chance to correct course, not to catch you out.
I tell you which rule and which message. Nothing is restricted.
You can still read everything. You just can't post for a week.
Out of the community. If you were paying, the subscription cancels at the end of the period. I don't keep money for time you can't use.
Someone who slipped once a year ago isn't on their last chance forever. Rules 2, 3 and 7 skip the ladder entirely: harassment, doxxing and illegal content are not learning opportunities.
Reply to any email from me within 14 days and I'll look at it again. If I got it wrong, the strike comes off, and if the action was public then so is the correction. I will get some of these wrong, and an un-appealable mistake is what actually drives people out of a community.
Every action is logged in an audit trail, including mine.
