Which mod fracts you the most?

Moe already pointed it out, but a single Mod doesn't just up and decide to issue an infraction. It is voted on. The one who sends you the message isn't necessarily connected to the infraction in any special way.
Typically just the one to cast the third vote for the infraction, unless the third vote comes from someone who can't issue the infraction at the time for whatever reason.
 
I guess I've never deserved any warning or infraction I've been given. In fact, I could expand upon this theme theologically and make a perfect, ten-page syllogism on the doctrine of grace, just using this one fact.
 
I've had three, two from Rev and one from Colton. They're all expired, though. Never got any warnings that I recall, so I think that must slip through the cracks a lot more than Mo thinks it does.

Infractions are frequently preceded by warnings, but not always. Some things are fract worthy completely on their own merit.

Yeah, so true - and I was wrong when I said "almost always" - - especially for things that are considered sexually explicit or obviously inappropriate, there isn't a warning.

Generally if there is something we can edit to make the post more acceptable, we will do that - - and sometimes the editing is done before we've agreed whether or not to issue an infraction.

What I was thinking of mostly was the violation for "circumventing the profanity filter" - - because many other message boards don't have a filter and posters are encouraged to use creative spelling to avoid a violation for posting profanity, we try to give a warning for that type of violation before giving an infraction.

So long as you remember to type **** when you want to say **** and don't try to use $ instead of S you'll be fine.

I guess I must have been a bad boy... but I've definitely seen worse than what I posted on this site. Regardless, the infractions don't matter to me and I appreciate what you guys (and girl) do to make this place work. I'm sure it's a pretty thankless job.

I once said what a filtered word rhymed with (it was a word that I am surprised is filtered) and BAM, I got a one way ticket to fractown.

Do you want to know what the word rhymed with? Well, I'm not telling.

To this I will add that it does make a bit of a difference who votes - - because each of us may have a different tolerance level for various types of "bad behavior" or our own "pet peeves" for stuff that annoys us. Sometimes the first three mods who view the report will vote the same (whether it's warning or infraction) and that's what's issued. Other times, it takes four, five or even six mods to vote before to get three to agree on the course of action.

Full disclosure - a couple of my own "pet peeves" in this regard are comments/jokes that involve vulgarity or other inappropriate content and include "your mom" in the statement. Not sure why, but that bugs me. :-)
Also, the "fixed that for you" type of post when one poster alters another's words in a quote - - it's one thing if it's obviously humorous, but often it's not so obvious and can lead to problems as things are misinterpreted.

Please don't
 
A poll would've helped here since I'm not sure who all the mods even are any more.

Rev?
Stoked?
Kicky?
moe?
Someone else?

I think colton's basically the VP here while jason of course is El Jefe.
