Mock can you just shut up and get over it, odds are the infraction has expired by now so I'm not entirely sure why you feel the need to drag it all up now

Theres so many members with different points and infraction reasons that to treat every single rule break for each member the same way would be extremely unfair.

If 2 people are infracted at the same time and one is pushed into a ban then all I can say is that it's entirely their own fault, they must have broken more rules in the past to have high enough points to be pushed into a ban.

The straight ban thing, it can be extremely frustrating if arguing continues when we have already given out infractions to some of the members involved and maybe already posted a warning in the thread, arguing doesn't just affect the members involved it is also unfair on members that just want to reply to the thread topic to have to keep scrolling through drama, so a straight ban is the next thing.

I can understand why you'd do that, but i don't really think it's fair, I have 16 pages of infractions, so a lot of them are going to be for varying offences, does that mean that all my infractions are going to be higher?

I think you need to treat every reported post or potentially infractionable post completely separate to past infracted posts by the member whose potentially being infracted (i hope I'm making sense i feel like I'm just rambling ), that way noone can accuse mods of being bias or kicking up a fuss, because it's all completely fair, whether the infraction is given by someone who dislikes the member, or someone who loves the member

I think if we have a set system where the infraction points are clearer, and posting bans are longer we'd have a lot less infracted posts because people will be off the site for a lot longer

Again, i get why it's frustrating but threatening bans outright is unfair, I honestly just think one warning should be made in bold and if after that it doesn't end just infract every single post that carries it on, sooner or later (if they're banned) they'll get the message
