He insulted a member from South Africa by making fun of his language in the member introduction area.

That was it? touchy people these days.

He insulted a member. That simple.

7 day ban.

If that's correct, then its due to how many infractions he has been given in the past 30 days. The ban and its duration was not due solely to his actions, and the one fraction he received, in that particular thread.

I guess the lesson is, if you have a couple infractions under your belt, be extra careful to not break a rule for a while. The infraction system is meant to give people warnings of future repercussions if rules continue to be broken. Its exact purpose is to alleviate the threat of an isolated incident causing a direct ban. The infraction system can be bypassed at the discretion of the moderator, if he feels it is warranted, but it was not in this case.

You dont know what was said. I can assure you it was much more than just an insult in the wrong location on the forum.

He and I are discussing the situation via IM's. No need for a side discussion here by other people.

I mean if it was the whole language thing, I thought it was a pretty light joke, maybe I'm wrong though. But it was in the new member section so we're supposed to play nice there.

In the thunderdome, its not. Everyelse, it is. But even in the t-dome mods have the right to take action at their own discretion, again if they feel it is warranted.

Forever, but recently being monitored more closely, as has been explained by the moderating staff numerous times, to answer your question more directly.

He has had 3 infractions, and he was pretty sure 2 were expired......

I've always been kinda scared of this. I've got two expired ones but I've heard of people still getting bant when they get another one even though they say expired

Okay, he's obviously having the same IM conversation with you that he's having with me. You regurgitating it here in this thread pretty much bypasses the rule of discussing ban situations to PM's/IM's. Im going to close this thread.
