Hi,

Firstly please refrain from insulting the staff.

I am the staff member who made that warning post by the way - the fact you chose not to read it is hardly the fault of anyone else but yourself.

It may also be worth explaining to you that, had you not mentioned it yourself on the open boards, nobody would have had the faintest clue what the infraction you recieved was for. This is done in the current fashion for precisely the same reasons you mention.

And, since you apparently also failed to read this section, I will quote it for you;

Can I please ask that you read the rules of the forum that you agreed to when you joined and the infraction system that we use to enforce them.

These are not new announcements introduced in secret or anything. They were in place long before you joined the site and agreed to follow them.
