You all have asked for it, so we've (actually just Andrew, but shh) delivered. The strike system has received a total overhaul. Now you can explicitly see your strikes, and they will automatically be expunged after periods of good behavior.
When you have a strike, you will receive a notification alerting you, and you will see this at the top of your profile:
Old strikes from before this system's introduction are not grandfathered in, so everyone who is not currently banned will have a clean slate.
We will also be trying to move away from permanent bans in the future unless necessary, as people tend to just evade them anyways.
Additionally, there is a new rule in place:
If we find out that you are harassing a moderator on a 3rd party site (such as Discord) for their actions on this site then you will likely face consequences on this site in the form of a strike or a ban.
This is for our own sanity, as it gets quite tiresome being targeted on other sites such as Discord because some users feel it is "safe" to do so.
We hope that this will help create a more friendly community, with fewer people being upset about having strikes they don't know about and using that as reason to continue breaking the rules and crossing into the red area.
@SupremeDorian ok thank you for telling me.
