When did the infraction limit get reduced?

I'm not opposed to it as I felt it was almost impossible to reach it... now infractions actually mean a little more than a mere warning.

I agree. The number change was much needed.

This. It's actually worth the time and energy to give an infraction now.

I agree too that the number now actually gives some sort of actual meaning to getting an infraction, and is still quite fair.

I don't know what you're all talking about. What are infractions?

I agree. At 7, you give an infraction, it means little and you get PM'd by the person calling you a FAIL. At 4, you stand a good chance of getting rid of the bastard for a bit because guys like Society, CoA, Tiernan, Al, SYL, etc. tend to carpet-bomb the site with stupid bullshit all at once. Like, you won't see them for a day or two and then BOOM! 10 asshole posts in 30 minutes.

Some transient we had to take in for some charity, I think. He's a sad case. Keeps mumbling about some imaginary golf outing he's putting on with imaginary friends.

I like the reduction, for the reasons you guys stated above. Before, it wasn't even worth the effort, I don't think.

Just figured I'd give mantooth a little help. That way he can understand your post.
