Hi, not a major issue here, just looking to clarify something!

I know that a record of warnings, infractions and bans are kept on a users account, obviously it's pretty straight forward what a ban is.

What exactly defines a warning? Is this when a mod addresses a poster in bold to remind them of a rule that they are on the verge of breaking? Does this stay on record? Does for example a mod telling two arguing posters to calm down count as a warning for both posters?

What exactly is a yellow card? Warning or infraction?

And a red card is an infraction or a ban?
