Hmmm...
Don't get pissed.
Renegade is just doing his job. He gave me one infraction as well, some time back. But he is not a bad guy.
Are you a repeat offender?? Did you receive warnings/infractions earlier as well for similar offenses?? Coz I think Renegade won't take such a drastic step without forethought.
I don't know
Renegade really well, but after my small stint with him, I am sure that he is not unjust. He may be a bit biased... but certainly not unjust. And who isn't a bit biased these days!!
And don't start a thread. It serves no purpose. Some stupid members on TE have a great time at our expense. The thread just becomes a hate war and people try to show you how smart they are! Plus, the thread will eventually get locked and you might end up getting an infraction again or worse, get banned.
If you sincerely want to do something, send
Renegade a PM. Be Polite (he likes people who are polite) and make your point. He may/may not reverse the infraction but he'll surely be more lenient with you in future.
As
Mephistopheles once told me "don't bother too much about what happens on an online forum. It is never gonna affect your personal life!!"
The Reps that you lost, I can give them back to you at any time. But think for yourself, do they really matter?? Is that one green dot worth a fight with
Renegade?
I am not asking you to lie low and allow people to walk over you. I told this to
Renegade as well. That I'll not allow people to walk over me. If sumone hits me, I hit back with double force.
But if a Moderator exercises punitive action against you, as a rule of law, you have no option but to accept the action of the Mods. At most, you can PM the Mod and make your point politely (as
Renegade likes it) but you cannot fight (and win)... That is for sure!!
And in this case, no one has walked over you. It was a useless (well practically) post for the thread and it got deleted. As for the infraction, if you are not a repeat offender, convey the same to
Renegade and he might reverse your infraction.
So, cool down. Don't start a thread. PM
Renegade if required. And let go...
