Small potatoes?
How is a user to feel when a issue they bring to a mod is refereed to as small potatoes? Important, I think not.
No matter how small you think a issue is as a mod I think it should be respected and given consideration. The user obliviously thought it was worth something, so should you.
I was told a similar thing once and it really annoyed me. It made me think the mods do not have the back bone to correct a users mistake or their own and that the entire points system is useless. I felt completely blown off.
I do agree that in the big picture anything on this forum is small scale. But within this forum even the smallest issue should be handled with care when brought to a mod, not shrugged off. The mods job is to only deal with this forum not comparing it to what issues may await us in our life off line.
After all in the big picture this whole forum is small potatoes.
I think the mods do a great job with most things but these small issues and how they are handled I believe could use some work.

I'm not going to comment my feelings until I get responses from the PM's i've sent. From my POV, i was within the rules, and i'm still getting an infraction. Doesn't make any sense to me. I'm going to refrain from posting anything positive or negative until i get an explanation.

The thread is in the QT room, it was locked but you can still read it.

When you are given a negative rep point or infraction and try to protest it with the mods only to get the response that it doesn't really matter.
I just don't feel the mods are giving the user the respect they deserve when they go through the process to contest something.

Because you are giving mods the respect they deserve by stirring up the pot with this thread?
It's easy when someone gets an infraction they can appeal it if they believe it is not deserved, and some people do a, then there are the others the ones that instead of using proper channels will try to stir the pot and make it a mod vs us the member type thread (not the first time it happens)
The bottom line mods are here to enforce rules however it's not always black or white there are a lot of grey areas and the staff (who volunteer their free time monitoring this site) is always trying their best to be fair to anyone, of course you can disagree and keep stirring the pot but I am not sure how this is gonna benefit anyone when the subject was already closed.
BTW
20. Participating at BP.net is not a right...it is a privilege.
And also this is not the place to discuss neg rep point there is a thread for that.

I did go through the channels when I needed to and got shrugged off. I also thought about sending these thoughts in a PM but felt they would again be shrugged off so I took it public.
Mike also has gone through that process and it was referred to "small potatoes" so far. I understand he has more emails out to the mods and I hope his concerns are given the proper care they should and that they are not again shrugged off. I don't care if the infractions are not overturned, I just want the user to be treated fairly and be given a actual reason if it is not. Something more than this issue is to small to be worried about.
I also knew about that thread. This post was more about the mods attitude toward the users not so much about the rep system.
I'm not trying to stir the pot. I'm trying to get a new attitude for users issues.

KMG isn't stirring the pot, its an honest inquiry. The subject isn't closed until i get an explanation, which i'm still waiting for.
No one's disrespecting or bashing the mods here, your post seems awfully defensive. I hope thats not how everyone else is reading this thread too.

I'll give you a similar response that I see on this site when others bring issues up that they feel are important.
"If you don't like it, then just leave".
Yeah, feels good doesn't it.

I wouldn't leave over this issue. Its not THAT big of a deal. It IS big enough of a deal to annoy me because i feel like i'm being treated unfairly though. That's all.
