Do you read why fellow posters get put on probation?

Only the ones who have ever crossed me. Nothing shuts down your heated argument faster than being called out for your previous outburst.
If it's a thread I've posted in, or paying more interest to than simply skimming through 5+ pages of replies, then yeah I'll generally check it out just in case it's referenced later.
Yeah I always read the posts that incur moderator wrath.
There's a patten.
People always get put on probation when the person who was a dick first reports them
People get suspended when they say something racist, sexist or otherwise act like a bigot
And people only ever seem to get banned when they use the word "Furfag" in a post, or they're a spambot.

I do, because most of the time they're interesting posts/harsh truths that just overstepped the line a bit.
Either that, or it's an arguement/trolling, in which case it's amusing to read.

Yep. I always hope to see some juicy fight in progress when I click on them. Shame I rarely see any extremely amusing posts this way.
This made me lol and kinda agreeCuy said:
I do, always. Often it's just short posts like 'yes' or 'no'. It seems like some get away with probation-worthy posts and some don't. I guess there's just too much going on for mods to catch everything. Nevertheless, The Escapist is the best forum I've ever been to
I don't, but the curiosity is there. I'll probably give in at some point, but I think I'm going to be disappointed.
I do sometimes and don't others. I tend to read bans or very long probations/suspensions all the time. I get annoyed when there isn't a link option to whatever caused it, though. I like to have the opportunity to see.
It shows me how ham-fisted the mods here can be -- if a user reports a post, seemingly regardless of its actual content, the poster is put on probation.
Often, I've seen someone put on probation for something that I don't think warranted, and frequently in response to a post that I feel deserves some consequenses itself. It makes me feel that the assholes get the last laugh and that the the Mods need to grasp the bigger picture. This isn't always true, but certainly happens more than I'd like...
Everytime I see one. I don't want to join the bitter ranks of the probated masses...

Yeah, it's usually pretty disappointing. I always expect some actual lines to be crossed. But it's usually just something barely worth probating.
