Just in case the thread I replied into will get deleted soon...

I asked this question from a post by a person who apparently breached the community guidelines and someone replied to the poster reminding the person about the tos.

Now this is my question again. I posted a thread awhile ago which is now deleted and it is about breaching the community guidelines. What will be the consequences if you breach the tos?

I ask this because I always encounter this kind of reply informing a poster when breaching the rules.

What about the spammers like the famous wasted.xxxxx? Seems like he is still alive and kicking after breaching the rules over and over again. Do moderators ban the offenders? are they also get ban inworld?

I'm sorry for asking this here. Apparently my post has been deleted maybe because the accused spammer replied on my thread

As I said on your other post, the rule is 3 warnings followed by a 1 week ban ( not an inworld ban).

excessive spammers like those mentioned often have their accounts completely removed (forums and inworld) as can be verified by checking the name you saw on the my.secondlife.com webpage.... they use web anonymizers to get around this limit by creating new accounts.

other normal punishments are as PeeWee mentioned, warnings then temporary bans from the forums.

Just to expand a little, I think that particular spammer could be facing criminal charges.  It's not a joke.  Of course it is LL decision to press charges, but he is breaking the law.
