    You are in the minority. Most mods I have dealt with use your infraction history to justify some pretty sketchy infractions.

    "Past user infractions" is the get out of jail free card that mods fall back on whenever they need to justify a dubious action.


    I'm going to fall back on the "casual is different" justification. When I have issued warnings, I have not seen anyone with a lengthy infraction history.

    Let's say I need to issue a warning for spam. As I issue the warning, I notice that the person in question received a warning for spamming 60 days ago. It's not a big deal. He/she gets another warning.

    Now, if I see that person has (exaggeration) 15, 20, 30, etc. warnings for spam in the past, I might think differently--especially if those all happened in the same forum. With all those warnings, shouldn't he/she know better by now? Again, it hasn't come up for me. However, a person who has a lot of flaming infractions in the past, or who has been suspended for flaming, etc. might deserve more than a warning the next time he/she flames someone. Consider that warnings are reminders, and one can only be reminded so many times. Shrugs

    That's not abuse of power. It's a judgement call that requires more thought than your run-o-the-mill warning. I can understand user infraction history mattering in some of our forums.

    I reiterate my previous point: different forums require different methods of moderation.
