Right because the guidelines say not to "defend" yourself in that manner. (I use the word defend loosely because you were realistically just flaming them back.) Other people received infractions too not that it should really be of any concern. Those things are hidden for a reason.
It also doesn't require the use of curse words to flame someone, simply insulting them is enough.
Well you made this public so I'll address it here.
You started a thread, and when it spiraled quickly out of hand you let loose calling everyone " life-hating, pathetic narcissists" "overgrown babies" "scrubs" and "entitled liberals". So yeah I closed it and yeah I gave you a infraction for it.
This seems to all stem from your either inability or your own choosing not to read the guidelines which are at the top of every forum section.
Some of the things you would find inside if you read them:
If you find a post that is inappropriate, report it and they will look into it as quickly as possible. Do not involve yourself. It's simple and keeps you out of flame wars and out of trouble.
In this case it means don't try to fight fire with even hotter fire. If you think someone is flaming or trolling you, report it don't just feel free to hop on into the flames as well.
Another useful part would have been here:
Do not, under any circumstances, publicly discuss moderation about threads, members, social groups, visitor messages, albums, and/or blogs in any public venue. PM Daemaro if you feel you have been unfairly treated.
I'm not unreasonable and I give people multiple chances to clear their names, plead their cases, or just generally behave more calm and rational.
This is just a infraction anyways you're not banned, you're not being kept from posting. It's just a reminder to play nice with others.
Lastly and probably most importantly is this was not your first run in. You were infracted a while back for PURPOSELY spoiling a story for someone, and have had several other occurrences that just slid by because we're forgiving and prefer to have faith that people will learn to get along with each other in a civil manner.
If anyone has any concerns about moderation on the site, feel free to PM me about it, don't discuss it in public forums because it just becomes a spectacle for everyone and nothing really gets resolved.
