Making ALL penalties public.

Some of my infractions have been justified, but a lot have not. They've been for next to nothing, less than I see moderators get away with day after day. If we could post them up and we can all see that I was infracted for, say, asking someone to stop baiting me. Which has been done... and is stupid. All this, we can infract you, you have no comeback and you're not allowed to talk about it... casts the mods in a very sinister light when they're just ordinary people with no special skills or comprehension. And to say that all infractions are discussed by a group of mods makes me despair, because I know they're not all petty, like some of my infractions clearly have been.

This is the kind of post that makes me really want this to go ahead.

If you were to make your infractions public, I'd be willing to bet that most people would find them justified.
