If you're unaware about the recent addition, go to your profile. The meter is under your Profile Options. 5 infractions will earn you a Probation and another 3 will ban you permanently. It takes 6 months with no infractions for a strike to be taken off the meter, and 2 years of good behavior for it to cool down completely - provided that you haven't already achieved 'Level 8' and the Escapist has taken you away for a surprise party with the promise of 'Cake'.
Currently, I'm on Probation. 'Was quite surprised that so many infractions had stacked up. Good to know, I guess...
Edit: Sorry folks. Forgot the option for you good citizens. That would be the Level 0 noob, by the way.
Edit Edit: Level Zero Model Citizens, don't take me too seriously calling you 'noobs' - it's partly as a joke (thus putting the term 'leveling up' in quotations) and partly to make all those who have been 'Probed' to feel better about themselves.
