It can be refreshing, in a way. I've done it three times.
I've done it twice
Actually that's not true, I've done it lots of times but twice I got infractions
That's a spelling mistake.
Difference between grammar and spelling
Spelling is the correct arrangement of letters to write a word. Grammar is the correct arrangement of words to form a sentence. Punctuation is the correct arrangement of marks among words in a sentence, to enable comprehension. There are also incorrect spelling, grammar, and pronunciation, any of which can cause confusion.
Improved speeling will be available as a dlc.

12) Do not contest/discuss a moderation action in public.
Moderator actions aren’t always correct; if you feel that a moderation action was performed against you incorrectly, please see the final post on how to appeal. Openly posting about a moderation action upon you or others on the forums will not be permitted.

It is hard to believe that you and Patrick_68000 had infractions. Generally polite folks, IMHO.
It is true that some sanctions were disproportionate I find.
However they were in majority in agreement with the forums rules.
The thread on the Brexit was devastating for many Cmdrs, I think

I have one infraction (of which I'm not proud). Apparently I was badgering one poor soul.

And if you are banned, you cannot contest it because you can't access your account. If this was a court of law, you were found guilty and the punishment was death, it would be like saying you are only allowed to contest(appeal) this after you have recieved your punishment, basically when you are dead. I am happy that these forums are not a court of law.
Aww. lol.
I generally enjoy your posts, even if I don't have a clue what they're about most of them (Daily 'Star' reader here, you see).
Infractions? I've had a few but then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do .. and saw it through without White Knighting.
And though I planned, each plotted course, each careful scoopable .. along the byway
More, much more than this. I did it my way.
Keep on doing that I reckon. That's my plan anyway. HNY Cmdrs.

Three infractions here. A bit like UK driving offences, infractions carry points and points can mean prizes temporary bans from the forum for certain periods of time. Looking back through my "criminal record" (which is permanently etched onto your Profile, although possibly only for you to see ... can anyone else see mine?) posting in the wrong thread (e.g. golden rule violations in focused feedback threads) carries 0 points and is just a warning; "insulting other members" (this may depend on the nature of the insult, mine was flipping someone an ascii art finger) carries 2 points and, iiirc, comes with something like a 2 day ban; and "public moderator contestment" (mine was an outrageous miscarriage of justice partly due to thread merging and partly due to me poking a mod' with a stick until they finally snapped) carries 5 points and comes with a multi-week ban (might have been a month).
My forum etiquette new years resolution? Errr ... flip less ascii birds, don't argue with the mod's and generally continue doing what I've been doing 'cos it seems to go down fairly well with most people.
Happy 3305 everyone!

To misquote M&W "Put it away there is a moderator coming..."
I just checked and no I cannot see your trips to the naughty corner.
"Lang may yer lum reek!"
Ozric
Volunteer Moderator
I can
Speaking of, I just answered my own question (did an experiment). If I try to add you to my ignore list, I get "Sorry, Ozric is a listed as a protected user on these forums. Your account permissions do not allow you to ignore them." Yet when moderators have posted something "offensive" and I've called them on it, they say, "I'm not a moderator right now, I'm just a normal user like you!" If this is the case, then I should be able to ignore any moderator who isn't "wearing the badge", yet obviously I cannot.
This doesn't seem right.

Well I can show you a thread where a moderator actively proves he is NOT a moderator unless there is the "blue glow of authority", so technically I'm just contesting another forum user right now
I'll still get banned, LOL.
ps - just don't take my bug reports away, please! I may be an old coot with no etiquette, but my bug reports are top notch [yesnod]
