On CFC infraction is a warning given by a moderator that carries a weight depending on severity of rule breaking.
Typical infractions are worth 0-3 points, and stay on your record anywhere from 10 days to indefinitely. If you accumulate 8 points, you are banned for a week.

Advertisers get an infraction worth 60 points and are permanently banned.

How many times do you get banned before you get permabanned?

Yes, please consult a dictionary.

You really need to learn to do things yourself.

Google has this nifty thing. Type "Defineersecute" and you'll see

1) If I get drug tested for getting hired at a new job, and one tests positive, what are the legal repercussions? Obviously one won't get the job, but is their a fine involved?

2) If you admit to a police officer that you did drugs several months ago, but are not presently high or in possession, are you breaking any laws that the officer can arrest you for?

I do not think this has ever been an accurate description, and I think other posters perhaps would want a clear answer, seen more than a few confused. In short, infractions stay on your record permanently, always.

What happens is the number of "points" expires towards whatever a current total there may be. The infraction does not go off the record.
