As it stands right now, I'd say everything is running perfectly fine and many posts in this thread are just throwing toys out of the pram.
The only criticism I could offer to this whole whoo-ha is maybe offering a bit of detail to warnings/infractions instead of "please stop this" with the post being private...but this maybe nonsense in itself because I can't remember if once they expire the post linked to the rule break disappears

.
And finally in response to the OP, I generally don't alter my posts to avoid infractions but like if I'm being told to not post too many gifs in the BB section, I'll not.
