How do warnings work?

Sorry if this is in the terms or FAQ, read through them but couldn't find anything about this.

How do warnings work here? I've been a GAF member for 12 years, but was away for a while, and I think this is a relatively new thing? I guess you could get warned before too, but you didn't get warning points etc I'm pretty sure. And to be clear, a more transparent warning system is nothing but a good thing!

So I got a warning a while back, which is absolutely fine, I'm not here to complain about that. I just wonder what "X warning points" actually means? Do you get an automatic ban after Y warning points, or what is the significance of these points? Do you get different amounts of points for warnings of different severity? Do only the points matter, or also the number of warnings?

Thanks!

It's probably best to just not keep doing whatever you were warned about

Typically the worse the infraction, the higher point value we will give it. You won't be banned automatically for reaching a certain number of points, but when we're evaluating a new infraction we will weigh the number of warning points you have accumulated to determine the best course of action.

What time is it?
As my daddy used to say: "boy, if you keep this up I'm going to teach you the meaning of the word "duck", because if I say it and you don't..."

Alright, thanks!

When you reach 12 warning points:

Or maybe it's 10. Who can be sure?

Looks fun!

Yeah no clue how they work, some one can wish your home gets blow away in a hurricane and it’s a joke but post a thread saying gold play station 5 cost $9000 and you get one.

Warning and danger signs are fucking racist. Always a black dude getting crushed or shocked or falling to his doom. I for one am sick of it and will be donating the rest of my earnings this year to DLM.

Yes, but that was a while ago. :) I've been active here for some time (again), but I just recently noticed these points and wondered what it all means.
You were banned from Era?
Why?
Are you white? Male? Or do you have cognitive abilities?

You get a brand new toaster when you reach 15 points.

30 points for a waffle maker.

I readed all in this thread and searching in the FAQ and I still don't understand how warnings works. I literally got a warning minutes ago after posting a screenshot from the official PlayStation Blog.
