Cavy Caged: Demoted from regular membership.

• Determined and assigned by either the impaction system (5 poo points) or the moderators or administrators.
• Member posts are moderated, that is, when they create a thread or post, it must first be approved by a moderator or administrator before it will be seen by the membership.
• If a member continuously provides inaccurate information or posts authoritatively with no recognized credibility or continues to not only provide no value in their posts, but seems to take away from value in a discussion, this type of member will have their posts moderated until they learn how to properly contribute to this forum.
• This membership category is also not allowed to post in the Kitchen or Vegetarian forum.
• Cannot give Thanks or Groans

Banned

• Banned members can still view the forums, however, they cannot post on the forums. Some bans are temporary--a day, week or possibly a month. Some are permanent. If any temporarily-banned member tries to sign up under a different userid, they will automatically have all their userids permanently banned. Review bannable offenses here.

Thanks status

Members who are moved to restricted, moderated or banned status may have any thanks they have previously given removed from other members' posts.
