The IIFA warning system:

So, what happens when a member violates these guidelines or our Terms of Use? It's a simple three-step process.

Step #1: The friendly warning. This is where we give you the benefit of the doubt. Maybe you didn't realize that what you were doing was in violation of our policies. Or maybe you did realize, but it's not too late for us to show you the error of your ways. Regardless, this should be the last time we have to discuss it with you.

Step #2: The strong warning. Perhaps we didn't make ourselves clear? This is us giving you one more chance to change your violating ways before we take serious action.

Step #3: The ban. Please don't let it come to this. If, after repeated warnings and a temporary ban, the behavior continues, your account will be permanently blocked and you'll no longer be welcome on the site. Here's hoping we never get to that point.[l2]
