How long do our past mistakes remain in the MR data base? Out here in California, our driving record is wiped clean after 3 consecutive years of no violations; I was kind of hoping for something like that here at MacRumors.
What sort of records are you talking about? I hate to think how many anti-brownie points I have.
Well, did they resemble body parts or something?I would post an example, but then I'd get banned for that.

Yes, they're the refrigerator magnet version of the calendar girl. I just now ran a search on eBay's search box under "MAC TOOLS" and I noticed that the refrigerator magnets are still for sale. The girls are a bit racy, but they do have their attributes covered.
I bet ebay's servers just got hit with a ton of searches for "MAC TOOLS"!

If you haven't had the obligatory, partial lobotomy as yet, the result of the third infraction, you should be on your way to recovery. MACDRIVE.....

This is a valid question, since moderator actions tend to be harsher after multiple infractions, with mere warnings more likely for first offenses.
With a bit of research, we can sometimes dig up "dirt" about a member's past infractions. However, if somebody had trouble following the rules years ago, it's likely that it won't have much effect on moderator actions now.
Example:Person A broke a rule for the first time in 2007.Even if we happened to remember Person B's history (which would probably be true only if it was a major infraction), we'd tend to treat Person B more like Person A than like Person C.
Person B broke a rule in 2002, then again in 2007.
Person C broke a rule in 2006, then again in 2007.
In other words, time gradually erases old problems, but there's no rule that says they go away completely. I think it's a fair system.
It's in his blood!That sounds suspiciously like math again. You bring math into every equation!
So in other words, MACDRIVE, you might want to consult a lawyer and not post anything except 'No Comment'.

I just hope you aren't monitoring my downloadsAnd if Person A + Person B = Person C then everyone goes away thanks to Person Q
and 6 doesn't like 7 because 789.

have another avatarSpecial Blood lines have it, we consider us lucky. It becomes more predominate as we get older. I'd write the equation to show you all how this affects us but well I don't to cause brains to explod.
Not for long. I have an appointment to donate some of it today.It's in his blood!
