Infractions

And how will you keep track of these infractions?

What the hell is happening to this site?

We can't even argue anymore?

Did you drop this KrAzY?

It doesn't say anything about not arguing. If you want a debate, fine, but insulting taking turns insulting each other is not a debate.

I dunno, what Krazy has planned, but i see it that each mod keeps a personal tally, or we keep a group one in the mod section.

Here's another thing, does LP know much about this?

Wouldn't you need his permission to do this sort of thing?

He already has it.

Then shouldn't I be unbanned (for the second time today) since I was given no warning this time, what so ever, and was banned for retaliating to Bilco calling me a fag.

-User was infracted for this post

What?

Okay, here's what happened.

I came into the CB, and said that the mods were getting squemish about cussing (jokingly) and said that the last 4 generations of my family have either been in the Navy or sons of sailors in the navy.
Bilco said (something to the effect to): "Well now we have proof that PiE is a fag"
I said: "That's nice Bilco, now go run along and drink some tea.
Then I was banned.

Its cute how you try to establish order on the internet.

Honestly, these sorts of systems deter members, and cause the frequenters to grow tired and bored of communities incredibly quickly. Considering that a lot of people here aren't afraid to voice their opinions against a matter, an incredibly strong and valuable attribute might I add, keeping this infraction scheme will only cause more issues than it solves.

One of the communities that I was a part of for at least 2 years has pretty much adopted a system similar to this, and is incredibly strict about it. The only reason why the community hasn't crumbled entirely is that people there are slaves to the senior admins and are too afraid to actually speak out. For me, unfortunately, I'm not afraid of protesting and as such I was pretty much permanantly banned for trying to fight the system. I'm 100% certain a lot of members would leave if it got to a stage like that here, which I fear it might.

People need to just show a little bit more self-control and not be so quick to insult somebody, and this infraction system needs to be abolished.

tldr: Infraction systems lead the way to shitty dictatorship-esque forums that nobody will enjoy whatsoever, ultimately leading to the death of the community, or departure of the main contributors.
