I have been bothered by something that happened 2 years ago on this Board.
I made a post that I thought nothing of but apparently the mods felt otherwise. No bad words were written, and nothing bad was intended but that did not seem to bother the mods.
I was issued an infraction....first one ever in almost 16 years of participating, supporting and donating to this board.
Hey...I am a big boy and tried to appeal to the mods but to no avail. I respectfully disagreed with them and tried to ague my case, again to no avail.
Well, OK.....it is their Board and I have to play by their rules. I get it.
However, I did not, in all good conscience, continue to donate as a sponsor after that. I know by donation would not hurt them at all but i could not give them money after that.
So why does this bother me?
That infraction was been attached to my profile since it happened. It reminds me of a sex offender registry where it follows you for the rest of your life.
I would ask the mods to explain why, after paying my "debt to society" with an infraction and a warning from the mods to be more careful, it has to remain on my profile for apparently the rest of my days here.
I would be happy to donate again and support the Board financially, but this just rubs me the wrong way.
I am not trying to start a fight here. Again, I get it that it is YOUR board and YOUR rules. I am just trying to understand why the infraction has to stay on one's profile like a scarlet letter for apparently for as long as one is a member.
Mods....care to explain?
