Mods who are SOOOOO smart they don't even have to read the guidelines

How many by the same moderator? How many different moderators view the thread? Shouldn't these numbers be publicized also? Then we can see if there is a relationship to certain moderators possibly out to get certain members on here. Just food for thought.....Because we know there have been ongoing fueds on here and now some of those people involved in the fueds have the over those they were fueding with

Nope, I can't tell you that at all, The system (and neither do I) does not care which member is viewing a thread and keeps no log of that. As for controversial threads, or ones where certain individuals may be participating, certainly more people will view such a thread than something much more mundane. How is that any different from what is published in a newspaper or viewed on TV?

As for certain moderators "out to get" someone, well even if that is the case, so what? I have offered them the power to change this site, so I am certainly not going to stand in the way if they are enforcing MY rules to do so.

Perhaps it is just time for those "certain someones" to pay a bit more attention in how they post here. Perhaps everyone should try hard to not piss off someone else, because you never know when THEY might wind up deciding to get the power to issue warning points.

If someone wants to classify this as an "inquisition", well go right ahead if it makes you feel any better about the change here. But it would be a pretty stupid person during a believed inquisition who would run around in public trying hard to attract the attention of the inquisitors. Basically trying their darnedest to make their prophecy self fullfilling by their own actions. To what purpose? Is there some cub scout badge out there for people who will finally gain that lofty goal of 500 warning points? Well if that is the goal, have at it. It's there in reach if you try hard enough, and quite certainly enough people here now who would be VERY willing to help you along to your goal.
