He got 3 days off for being a bitchboy and spamming a bunch of one word posts after I mentioned the multiquote function and continued to do so after an infraction.

You've just fallen into his trap. Now he's got three unobstructed days in which to further refine his already rock solid arguments about the illusions of sexism and racism.

Sounds like someone is looking for an infraction.

To be an insufferable bore, all bans given to humans (not spambots) should be given as 10+ point infractions because they go on the user's record. Which is useful.

I didn't know there was a point system. What is the final or the total limit for infraction points a member can incur?

I don't know if there is a limit. The way the infractions are supposed to work is roughly like this:

When users break rules, mods punish with infractions. The infractions last for a set amount of time. Whenever a user has 10 or more, they lose access to the forums.

Mods don't actually have to ban users as much in this scenario. A minor infraction could suspender a user if he/she had accumulated many from before. Bans become slightly more just a natural consequence rather than mod decisions.

Furthermore, infractions show up on your permanent record also visible to you under User CP.

Edit:

BTW, I wouldn't necessarily suggest really leaning into the infractions system, but it's smart to use for bans anyhow.
