I have no stories for you guys(and gals), but that's more of a good thing rather than a bad thing IMO.
I've probably come close before though. For example, one of my first threads here was a "VS Thread" and I didn't realize that they were frowned upon. A mod probably could have given me a warning for it, but I didn't get anything more than a few aggravated forum-goers.

I think I was just an idiot, actually.TopazFusion said:
It's OK, I plan to see my 2 Year Amnestversary, then it won't matter.
Currently have a full health bar but I have one infraction in the past.
Moviebob is somewhat agreeable most times but frankly he has an extremely bad habit of latching on to anything and spouting it beyond the point of acceptable redundancies such how he kept bringing up the Retake Mass Effect as the latest example of this irritating practice. Anyways about a year ago every one of his articles kept mentioning Batman: Dark Knight as the best movie ever. In one of his junk drawer episodes of the big picture he set aside a minute to, once again, talk about why the Dark Knight movie was so great.
Sick of listening to him talk constantly bringing it up I posted in the forums asking if he could please stop sucking Dark Knight's dick so hard. I knew before I posted it that it was going to get at least a warning. Incidentally he stopped bringing it up after that post for at least a few months so hey, all's well that ends well.

Been here for years, I don't post too often but I love reading news articles. I usually just end up commenting with the fb addon thing. So far I don't have an infraction 
Well my forum bar is clean now, but I have had two infractions in the past.
My first was in a thread I made complaining about how I much I was annoyed by people leaving in the middle of Halo: Reach matches, which in retrospect was kinda dumb. I got a warning for quoting someone with a low content post. All I wrote was "This"
The second time was when I got a probation for embedding a video of a guy who talked about Sonic Passion, a website for people who are sexually attracted to Sonic and friends. During the video he mocked furries, which make up a part of the Escapist community. So I understood why I got in trouble for it. I didn't realized what I did until it was too late. I was simply making a thread asking why the people on that site think Sonic is sexually appealing and why they seemed so open about it compared to other fandoms. I simply used the video I mentioned as a point of reference.
Ever since then though, I haven't caused any mod wrath, so now my health bar is clean.

I got a warning for pointing out that people are going to end up pirating a game with more frequency because of a poor business practice.
Can't even remember what game it was. That's it, really.

Never a warning or a ban for me
That's your secret you just don't read the OP

In context it was appropriate, as it was meant to be humorous. Adding to it would have diluted the intent. Of course, whether or not it was actually FUNNY would be up for debate, but that was the intent nonetheless. Regardless, I've seen some okay 3 word posts, usually crafted for the purpose of humor. Similarly, I've seen several paragraph long posts that lack the coherence or logic of brief, single-sentence ones. However, I do hate the typical "this" comment and its ilk, so I see where the mods are coming from. I just don't think LC infractions should be as universally applicable as you seem to imply.Sober Thal said:
As to mod involvement, it depends on the mod and their behavior. I and a few others once got a mod fired on the Unity forums specifically because he was a little too involved. In general, however, the mods around here seem pretty good and impartial. As to you preference, well, if you like a tight run ship then good for you, I suppose. I don't mind it.
It wasn't always like that. I had one warning because I called someone on trolling. I should have done the whole "report and move on"thing, and I didn't.
I had one warning I overturned successfully before the health bar was a thing.
I have to do very little to avoid mod wrath. I may not be a saint, but....
I am a pretty selective poster, as you can see Ive been actively on these forums for 4 years now. But my post count is so low because I only really post when I feel I have something worth while to add to a conversation, which is probably why I have a huge post/quote ratio. Worst that I ever got was a low content infraction ( cant even remember for what now, it was about a year ago.)
I got a warning shortly after I signed up for making a joke about the french.. I was accused of being racist, but I'm English!

Considering some of the opinions I've expressed here over the last year I'm suprised that what what I got in trouble for.

If you are British and make fun of the French, it is perfectly fine, you're not being racist, you're being British, you guys have been duking it out about a thousand years now. The French are the same way with you guys. Its like blaming a duck for swimming.Craorach said:
Maybe something about ponies I can't remember. Having any other than a positive opinion about MLP here can get the hammer dropped hard, which is a shame.
The only other time I can remember is when I called someone an idiot because he thought he was addicted to video games so he deleted all his save data from every game he owned and made a vow to never play games again because it would ruin his life apparently. The funny thing is, is that beside that one use of the word "stupid", the rest of my post was logically sound and thought out. I guess even in context insults aren't welcome.....understandable I guess *shrug*
