Be less aggressive on infractions

I've been lurking around here and there, and for most mods it seems like you guys are aggressively giving out infractions to people. If they are newer members, delete their posts and give them a warning, if they are a little bit older members, give them an infraction but don't make a scene about it.

A good example, a friend of mine was infracted for posting an answer similar to mine in a thread, and was infracted for it. How hard is it to delete his/her post? There is no need to infract someone for something so ridiculous.

 

It should be the other way around. Older members SHOULD know the rules by now, I'm talking about newer members and how some of them are treated.

 

Then why infract Weasel, and not just delete his post on Where did [name here] go?

Seems like it was a bit ridiculous to infract him for that.

 

Then just leave it next time, since I could pull out 200 other people who answered the same thing as someone else.

But it's not really just about that, It's just some people like I said, handing out infractions as if it were some sport.

 

Its different in the market. Infractions are an anti-scamming tool.

Infracting new users lets them know they cant just get away with 20 free bumps etc etc

Free bumps = spam, and spam = scam

 

What's the trouble of just deleting them manually?

 

I cant and even if I could I would still infract them once or twice depending on the severity.

 

If it's 5+ in a row, you should warn them. If they keep doing it then yes that deserves an infraction.

 

If the mods were really aggressive with giving out infractions, most people would be banned.

 

That wasn't what I was talking about ^

 

I don't think they are being too aggressive. Rather, I would edit the spammer's post with a short message saying that they are being infracted for their post, or that it serves as a warning to stop spamming.

Keep Sythe retard-free.

 

I don't think the moderators or the people who are allowed to hand out the infractions are aggressive on them.

I've gotten 3 infractions so far, and I was a newbie to this community 2 months ago.

Read the rules, its not that hard.

 

I support this I actually got a temp ban for repeating something similar to what you said Gohan, Even though I didn't read your post as I just scrolled down to answer his question, Firez was the one who gave it to me, not being rude or anything Firez but try and relax a little something like that doesn't deserve a infraction

 

The infraction system is more than lenient at the moment.

The number of infractions that you need to get temp banned is 5, instead of the 3 previously. Also, if you happen to get 5 infractions, the ban length is only 3 days long.

 

I have actually slowed down on giving infractions to people who do not have the right picures on their selling thread. I now just lock and tell them they need pics. However if they know what they are doing, then I infract.
