I just was given a 1 point infraction based on the mods opinion, rather than some violation of the coc. Why is this allowed? I'd like it reversed. see this: http://ubuntuforums.org/private.php?do=showpm&pmid=879809 and this: http://ubuntuforums.org/private.php?do=showpm&pmid=879830

I'd also like another infraction to expire. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6282911#post6282911 So I said something to the op about making multiple posts on the same subject. Others (not mods) do this everyday. Mods need to get off their power trip.

I dug them up in the staff-only infraction records. Here, Kiwi.

I also suggest taking a look at the user's complete infraction history before responding...

and look at the time frame. from 2-08 to 11-08 no problems. 12-08 i did not tell the op to just google it. i provided a link to a page of links.

I have reviewed the incidents at question and reviewed your history. These are all very similar . You have acted like wise many times and received infractions etc for like wise events. Yet you still do not seem to have comprehended what it is you are doing wrong and have not adjusted your attitude.

I see no reason to change what has been done and the staff involved have acted appropriately in these cases.

You can consider your self lucky to have retained your membership but I will warn that any further incidents may result in your membership being terminated.

please explain how this is inappropriate language: the bottom line is, anti-virus and anti-spyware software is simply not needed in the linux world. it's a complete waste of system resources to install this software. .exe files will not run in linux. and to those who say what if we send emails to windows users. well for years most isp's scan emails for virus'. and security is up to the computer (windows) user. linux users should not have to protect windows users. it's up to them to protect themselves. i'm not going to waste system resources by running this un-needed software.

this statement is not rude, or anything else to the op, or anybody. how am i to know when in the OPINION of some mod i have done something wrong? because of this not being able to know how a post will be viewed by a mod. please terminate my membership. as i feel that yes there have been times when i may have been rude to a poster. today is not one.
