Well about warnings... This is how I see that dilemma... if Your account Is Clean You never had Infraction history then Yes We will issue warning first... But Even then in some specific cases we can Skip it... i case of Mike that wasn't his first "ride"... and If I was looking at that before Mark did I will Issue Infraction as well.
As Many times many people in this tread said: Moderators and Admins are Only Humans and Many times we let some thing Slide (even when we shouldn't) and there are times when we could overreact little as well.
When You get Infraction You can appeal of course if your request was denied just live with it and get over with it...
Reading this tread I sometimes have feeling that I'm looking on Pre-School kids krying because they was send to the corner...
Now Please... lets get back to Snake talk... User of this forum Need More Yours and Ours Knowledge and Advice and definitely less FORUM Drama
Mkay ???
