Expires - This is the timeframe for which the infraction level will be active. When the infraction expires, the associated points will be removed from the user's infraction total. If a value of Never is chosen, then this infraction will never expire.
Points - This is number of infraction points that this infraction level will penalize for. A value of at least 1 must be entered.
Warning - Setting this option to Yes will allow a warning to be given for this infraction level. A warning carries no points as it only serves to remind an user of your forum rules.
Extend - When this option is enabled a user will receive extended expiration times if given a second (or more) infraction that matches an existing active infraction. For example, a user is given an infraction for spamming posts that expires in 1 day. An hour later this user is given another spamming posts infraction. Since the user already had an active spamming posts infraction, this new infraction's expiration time is added to the end time of the previous infraction. Effectively, this new infraction will now end 1 day and 23 hours later instead of the default of 1 day. If the user was given a third infraction, it would be added to the end of the second infraction as well.
To modify an existing infraction level, select the <Edit> option to the right of the level in the User Infraction Manager. Editing an User Infraction Level presents you with the same options as adding a new level.
To remove a level, select the <Delete> option to the right of the infraction level in the User Infraction Manager.
