Discussion about potential features, user anticipations, etc, in a polite manner: fine
Fishing for reactions by insinuating unproven things or trying to sideways troll one's way to victory in an argument: not fine and falls under the speculation rule
Being unbanned and immediately "scratching the old wound": priceless
Some people never learn that this is nobody's personal "air my grudges" playground, but a community resource.
The infraction system is the result of user demand: people wanted more consistent moderation with no room for preferential or simply inconsistent treatment of individual members and the mods agreed it was the fair thing to do.
So, what happens now is that we just issue the "speeding tickets" when a rule is broken, the automatic system takes care of the rest. Much better than having to coordinate between 4-5 different mods across all timezones and usually about the same 2-3 people. Now it's simple, fast, efficient and the same for everyone: rule broken = infraction given and if the points are enough, it triggers a penalty.
This is a valid thread, stop "fishing" and don't derail it.
