That is users should not post excessive numbers of large, small or coloured text, etc. Similarly users should not SHOUT or use excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in topic titles or posts.

2:FORUM POLICY
a. MIGO+1 Forum operates a three strike policy. Users will be warned a maximum of three times for any and all offences in a three month period. If the need arises for a fourth warning a temporary ban will be put in place of between 1 to 7 days. #
b. Arguing with MIGO members after having received a warning will lead to an immediate additional warning. Should this exceed three strikes a temporary ban will be put in place as above. #
c. Any attempt to circumvent a temporary ban will lead to that ban being made permanent. Circumvention includes re-registering under a non-banned username, changing IP addresses to evade an IP ban, registering a new email account of evade an email ban. Circumvention includes posting as an anonymous user. #
d. An exception to the three strike rule applies when users contact MIGO members personally (via any method) and post insulting, indecent or vulgar material. Such users may be subject to an immediate permanent ban. #
e. Permanent bans are a last resort and thought is given before implementing them. While MIGO may consider lifting permanent bans from time to time this is a rare occurence. #
