"Infractions" (what the hell happened to calling them warnings?)
Warnings became infractions when vBulletin updated the ability for forum staff to customize and administer penalties to users, and started calling them infractions. The word ‘warning’ was always confusing, especially when a staff member gave a warning that incurred a penalty. We also had to come up with our own term ‘caution’ to describe verbal warnings that we gave members, but which didn’t count towards the the three strikes of our three‐strikes‐and‐you’re‐out practice. A warning now is what used to be a caution.
