I have recieved an infraction and was told to remove my avatar

[adlep]

Greetings,
During the last 48 hours or so, I have received an "infraction" for posting in the wrong forum and also been told to remove my avatar because it may be offensive to some people.
All of that while the forums are being hacked...
My advice to the mod squad is to maybe change the focus a bit and maybe concentrate on important things such us making sure that the forums are fast, bug free, and safe...

I have been here for almost 9 years and I typically do not have a problem posting in the "wrong forums". A verbal comment could have been just fine - but no - somebody had to shake his or her ban stick at me and for a trivial reason IMO. I don't appreciate this at all :|

Edit: I could understand an infraction for a serious or notorious offenders, but this was a honest mistake on my part that typically does not happen. Can't the mods just move the threads to the appropriate sub-forums? I mean that is what the mods are for, right?

Edit: Please add double posting to the list of issues that need fixing. Here, Mods you receive an "infraction" for transitioning to VB form FT for the past YEAR and letting it go ape shit recently...
Keep up the good work I guess?

You are aware that we are not responsible for the change from FT to VB aren't you? I also hope that you are aware that we aren't responsible for the software or the Servers.

24 hours later I am not angry anymore. It is safe to lock.
Whatever...I am not going to argue on the Internets...Too busy for that...
