We don't use infractions because we like or because we want to. The infraction system is a huge improvement over the old system we used which depended solely upon memory and the mood of the mod at the time. Anyone who is issued a warning or infraction is done so because of their actions and nothing else.
Anyone who receives a warning or infraction but does not think they deserved it can appeal it with me. infractions can, and have been, reversed. I just reversed one less than an hour ago because it was given in error. I have also reversed some bans due to the situation being misunderstood at the time. mistakes happen and we work hard to fix them.
If you feel that you want to change teams, change teams. Don't try to pin it on a mod doing their job. Had it been a first time poster doing the same thing we would have banned them without a seconf thought and been totally within our rights in doing so. in fact, the aactivity was reported by other forum members, not just singled out by the mod team. As Mak said, the matter was discussed among the mods and the actions taken were agreed to have been appropriate.
At some point in life each person has to begin to take responsibility for their own actions. That means taking responsibility for both the good AND the bad. I have done some pretty bone-headed things in my life, but I will own up to them. I don't try to blame anyone one else for my own actions. I am the one who does the act and so I am the only one responsible for it. It would do well for all to take that step toward maturity.
