# Issuing Infractions

> View member records and issue infractions, suspensions, and terminations in your department.

## What is the Members page?

The Members page lists every member's disciplinary record. Click a member to see their points, active suspension, and full history, including expired and voided records.

<Frame caption="Member Records">

You can also punish members straight from the [Roster](/Department/roster) with Infractions Administrator.

## Issuing an Infraction

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the member's record">
    Find the member and click the punish button on their record.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a guideline or write a reason">
    Choose a [guideline](/Department/infraction/settings#department-guidelines) to fill in the reason and points, or write your own reason (4 to 1024 characters).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add points and proof">
    Set the points (0 works as a note) and attach up to 3 images.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Punish">
    Click **Punish**. You'll be warned if the points will reach a suspension or termination stage.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Members only get a DM about a punishment if they've turned on infraction notifications in their [account settings](https://melonly.xyz/my/account).

***

## Suspending and Terminating

Suspend a member with a reason, points, and an optional end date. Leave the end date empty to suspend indefinitely. Use **End suspension** on their record to end it early.

Terminating a member removes them from the department and can't be undone. Their history moves to **Ex-Staff Records**, where you can still view it.

***

## Editing and Voiding

Use the menu on any infraction or suspension to edit it or void it. Voided records stay visible but their points no longer count. If someone leaves and rejoins, their old infractions are voided automatically.
