About Infractions

[lPHONE]

Apparently (as my thread was moved from general to wasteland in 3 seconds) polling people is against some rule.

I honestly want to know/need to know that I'm not singled out. It would bring me a lot of closure to know that other people get infractions too.

From the FAQ:

What is an "infraction"?

An infraction is a semi-automated reminder from the moderators about a rules violation. The forum system sends you a standard message about the rule, and may include an explanatory message from one of the moderators as well. Even though one moderator's name is shown, it is not a personal issue; the moderators operate as a team and know of all assigned infractions.

Infractions are private. The infractions you see on your user profile page are visible only to you and the moderators.

Although the forum system assigns "points" and durations to infractions, they are meaningless in practice. We do not use these features. Instead, we use infractions merely as reminders about the rules.

Please do not ask others to share their infractions.
