it has nothing to do with standing by their own words. if we wanted to hold a discussion for every infractions we give then we'd post them publicly ourselves. when i give someone an infraction, its a courtesy to try and prevent that member from getting banned...if we let members post those infractions in an attempt to show us up and create friction then id just say fukk it and ban people instead of giving them a warning. this particular case is a perfect example, he received an infraction and came to me about it which was what he should do. i let him know that i wasn't concerned about the infraction and instead of letting it go and everything being fine, he decides to make a thread like this to disrespect a mod who, right or wrong was just trying to do their job. we put up with much more disrespect than probably any other board on the internet, this is one of the few rules we have to protect ourselves. i rarely, if ever put a members business out there. we'd appreciate it if members didnt do it to us
