Back... away... from... the... keyboard.
Unless some of you were lying in the past, you hold positions of authority in the 'real world'. You're behaving in a way that brings your competency in those roles into question entirely. Think about the way you're acting and get ahold of yourselves.
I've gotten a handful of infractions. The first time or 2 my stomach dropped, I felt embarrassed, and somewhat aggravated when I disagreed with the reasoning for it. I think I even challenged one or two of them. At the end of the day none of it mattered. The points system decays over time. You really have to go nuts consistently or go WAY over the line to get infracted to a point where it makes an impact on your experience with the website IE being able to visit, post, etc. If I end up getting infracted again int he future, I'm not going to worry about it.
Oops! and moving along.
I do see the point about protocol, etc. I do think rules were broken though. I don't think, unless a particular mod starts slapping questionable infractions left and right, that a thread like this is warranted. I don't think it is EVER appropriate. If you have an issue with a mod, start a discussion in private. I'm positive they spend plenty of time coordinating and discussing with one another behind the scenes. Take a trip to any other internet forum community. BP.net is TIGHT. Everything is going to be OK... and I have to agree that if you have such a problem that you're getting hot and bothered and taking personal offense, take a minute to chill out. If it still bugs you then please go away - you're bringing bad vibes to my playground.
