Greg Bernhardt said:Disciplinary Action:
A member may be issued either a warning or an infraction if deemed warranted by an admin or mentor (usually from guideline noncompliance). Infractions range from 1 to 10 "points", depending on the severity of the violation; warnings carry no points. If a member accrues 8 or more infraction points, he or she will be automatically banned from Physics Forums for a period of 10 days. If a member receives any infraction after having returned from a temporary ban, that member will then be banned permanently. Obvious, incorrigible spamming or trouble making will be met with a permanent ban.

No, only the individual who received the infractions points can retire them. Infractions points are personal and cannot be transferred to another person.
Infractions points typically expire after a certain period of time, which can vary depending on the specific rules and regulations of the organization or institution. It is important to check with the relevant authorities to determine the exact expiration period.
If all of your infractions points are retired, you will no longer have any points on your record. This means that you will no longer be subject to any penalties or consequences for previous infractions. However, it is important to continue following the rules and regulations to avoid accumulating more points in the future.
In most cases, there is an appeal process in place for individuals who wish to contest the retirement of their infractions points. This may involve providing evidence or presenting a case to support your argument. It is important to follow the specific procedures outlined by the relevant authorities.
The consequences for not retiring infractions points vary depending on the specific rules and regulations of the organization or institution. In some cases, accumulated infractions points may result in penalties such as fines, suspension, or even termination of employment. It is important to take steps to retire your infractions points in a timely manner to avoid these consequences.
