Frozen

[Edawg]

Hey! I was just wondering what is a frozen account and what does it mean? Thanks!

[ackmedsgirl666]

frozen if im not mistaken is where you cant recieve any more rep because you have recieved the maxx.... i have seen a few members on here that are frozen.. i know that there is a difference between retired and frozen
retired is when you have basically well left vt for reason and your account is retired.
and frozen is what i think i explained above.. but if i am wrong i am sure a mod will correct me or another member

Frozen is when you receive a certain amount of infractions, 75 if I'm not mistaken, and you are temporarily banned for about a week. A mod will be better able to explain this than me...

A user is frozen when they have either:
(A) Accumulated too many infraction points and they have earned a 3 or 7 day freeze (or a temporary ban) .
(B) Have been frozen by a staff member for either seriously breaking rules, are here for the sole purpose of advertisement, or have done something serious enough to be banned but a senior staff member is not around at the time to ban them .
(C) They are under the age requirement to sign up at and have been frozen until they are of the age to sign up.
or (D) A senior staff member has frozen them for a set amount of time.

Frozen has nothing to do with rep....it's basically a temporary ban. :)

To add on, people can also request a freeze for whatever amount of time, and the length a freeze can also vary, depending on the situation(If not requested)

*Jess beat me to it* :P

There are other instances, like if they request it, or if the person is not 13 years old yet. The freeze is usually lifted a few months after the thirteenth birthday.

The others have explained it well, but I got frozen when I had 50 infraction points, but I had a few warnings, but I wasn't smart enough to listen to it, and I was frozen for a week, it sucked, but it sure taught me a lesson :) .

So basically you'll get frozen if you get a couple warnings about something from a mod, but don't listen to them, or accumulate enough infraction points.
You can be frozen for a couple days, a week, a month, a couple months, or even a year or a couple years I think, depending on the seriousness of the offenses you commit.

I just wanted to add that accounts here are never "retired" or deleted because of inactivity. It would cause a lot of confusion in older posts and if an older member wanted to come back, which some do every now and then, it would suck if their account was gone.
