infractions

There should be a place added to the site where it explains how and who to talk to about infractions.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Now, hopefully one of the mods or admins will take care of this, or give reasonings as to why to do it or not to do it.

I don't have the energy myself right now

Really no need. Any time an infraction is given, it posts a thread about it automatically in the admin section complete with a link to the thread and the post in question. We review them there and often catch wrongfully given infractions and correct them. For example the contraction of "He will" (He'll) often sets off the curse filter when someone forgets to use an apostrophe. We have had a few infractions handed out for this but upon further review the infractions were reversed when someone notices the context and figures out what word was meant to be used. Then the infraction is reversed usually before the person that got it even knew they had one. I know I've done this like 3 or 4 times at least myself for this exact thing.

If for any reason you feel that you were given an infraction unjustly, just msg whoever gave it to you and NICELY explain why you feel it was unjust. Then that mod or admin will post in the admin/mod forum for us to review. Going over a mod or admin's head or attempting to do so will likely not be very adventageous for you. Especially when you write a demading, angry msg calling the mod or admin that gave you the infraction nasty names. When you start that crap, good luck getting anyone to listen to your complaint. We make mistakes. We are human. We have no problem with correcting mistakes we make when approached nicely about them. Nasty msgs cause apathy.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Read the TOS. Most infractions we see every day are for profanity. People tend to think it's ok to use little symbols or abreviate. If it's context makes it easy to figure out what word was meant for whatever disguised method you used, it might as well had been typed out. It's still profanity. The only abreviation that I know we are allowing with profanity is LMAO and that's just so we don't have to ban the entire member base If it's used in a sentence with context though instead of just standing alone, you will get an infraction.
