- This is all a matter of opinion, some of the posts I've made about Sam recently could be seen as "personal attacks" but they were not.
Inappropriate Language: 1 Point
- There is a filter for this.
Posting Non-Graal related links/url's: 1 Point
- These links could be removed, threads moved.
Signature/avatar/custom title violation: 2 Points
- Easily removed upon request or edited.
Discussing bans: 2 Points
- Again, thread can be closed due to the rules.
Evading the curse filter: 2 Points
- Not that big of a deal, can be moderated.
Insulted other member(s) and Inappropriate language: 3 Points
- I could take an offence to some of the things a moderator has said, as I have, does this mean they would get a point? It's all based on opinion.

Recreating deleted/closed thread: 2 Points
- This is the only one I agree with.

To be honest the moderators are doing a fine job in keeping these type of "crimes" at bay, this infractions idea just looks like having a reason to ban people.
We can give infractions, we must not do it. Its a kind of control system for both. Users will check if they are on a bad way, mods can give you a "yellow card" without points, but also a "red card" which means 1-3 points.
You know how much posts with spam like "looooool" in the forums. We dont warn a user who do it once or twice, but if someone do it by 50% of his posts, he deserves a infraction.
