Now though I don't view it as a warning, I view it as 1/10 of the way towards a ban, and a "We don't want you here."
I find it hard to describe how disheartening that rule is, and I really will not stop campaigning against it. There are specific kinds of people (in my opinion) we don't want on these forums. Everyone knows what that would look like, and I don't think people posting image macros in the wrong places, or getting snippy every once in a while qualify.
I think that this requires reading quite a lot into the attitudes of the mods and the nature of what reports are made and why, along with a perhaps not-so-healthy amount of persecution complex.
So still, trying to keep with the 30 minutes between posts and responses. I would appreciate if people could follow this.
As for your post, I don't agree. I think it's a very silly system, and I don't think one has to read overmuch into it to think that.
Posting hardcore pornography is a 2 warning item.
Off topic posting, an insult, etc, are 1.
I don't think two image macros are equal to someone posting hardcore pornography in a thread. I just do not think they are equal on any scale. And I dislike this system because it makes minor things on the same scale as big things.
I could post pornography in a thread every other month, ruin peoples day, and possibly get someone fired if it comes up at the wrong time at work.
Yet that is roughly the same amount of 'wrong' as posting an image macro in the wrong place once a month.
It places all infractions on the same scale, when I don't believe they are. I don't think I need to have a persecution complex to come to that decision.
