It depends on the trouble that the person did.

Ripping is an infraction, possibly a temp. ban.

Spamming is like a warning or so.

This thread is old, so I don't know what the punishments are.

pretty much a warning or an infraction for breaking them... more serious ones like ripping, and such, is an instant ban

This is a bump that Ripping will NOT be tolerated at any time in the forums.

I know that some users have some common sense about plagiarism and how that's going to hurt you for the rest of you life. While others do not care about the rules and go, "Hey everyone! This signature doesn't have a name! Let's take it!" I'm only going to warn you ONCE about Ripping. Ripping is a serious thing, and the MarioKartWii.com Staff will not be tolerated by this. Ripping is when you are using someone's work without permission and claiming it as your own. It acts like Plagiarism, but for a different name in GFX. If we catch you ripping, we will punish you severely. Guys, if you see a signature ripped by someone on here, PLEASE do not post about it. It's like feeding the troll. Report it by the Report button or by VM/PM. This is just a friendly warning Thanks for reading.

Some of you are Ripping Signatures and that won't be necessary around the forums. Do not obtain a signature that isn't yours without permission.. Thank you.

I just read the ripping thing.

If someone thinks that I'm ripping cuz it has names on it it's because I do them for my friends.

I never make any signatures for myself, I find it non- amusing.

If you ask which friends, it's friends from school and some people from other forums and from AIM.

Some cousins too.
