I reported a post and sent Labrocca a PM about it, the reason for reporting the post was so Labrocca would have it in easy reference without digging through threads for it.

I recieved an official warning from Nitro for:

Abuse of the reporting system.

No where in the rules or the warning types does this supposed infraction exist.

How can I be sure this is actually a violation, rather than something Nitro did abusing the warning system for personal reasons?

Where is this violation listed? What specific rule did I break?

Official warning types:
Flaming:
Member insults other members or uses bad words.
Double Posting:
Member double posts instead of editing post.
Spamming:
Member writes meaningless sentences or floods a thread.
Off Topic Posting:
Posting in a thread off the topic of the original subject.
Excessive Cursing:
Using too many curse words in a post.
Racial Slurs:
We do not allow racial slurs of any kind to be used here.

Rules:
Rules:
1. No spamming. We consider spam repeatedly posting irrelevant short posts.
2. No referral links. This includes signatures.
3. No excessive cursing or swearing.
4. No flaming or personal attacks of any kind will be tolerated.
5. If you have a problem please contact someone in the moderator group for help.
6. Posts must be relevent and have quality content to them. No "Yup" type posts.
7. PM spamming is also not allowed. Any PM soliciting will warrant immediate action, most likely banning.
8. No derogatory racial slurs. This will have zero tolerance here.
9. One account per IP only. Do not make multiple accounts. Proxy accounts may be banned.
10. Signature images must be no larger than 250 pixels tall, and 700 pixels wide. Any larger and they will be removed.

All of us have discussed this and, if I remember correctly, you were told that if you continue to abuse it your reports would be ignored entirely. Typically its not a major issue but, when half our time here is taken up with simply reading your mostly baseless reports, then it becomes one.

You now have forced me to request Lily and Labrocca's permission to post PM's on the subject here, to show how you are deliberately misrepresinting facts. Until we can post the truth I would ask that you refrain from sleazy accusations.

Also, your post completely misses the question of why this particular warning was given, since it neither broke a warning type or forum rule.

I'm not sure what you expect lily to do, but it makes no difference to me who you complain to. I'd send labrocca the message myself if you wanted.

I expect lily to give me permission to post PM's between us discussing my reporting here, to refute your earlier response and reveal it's dishonest nature.

On the warning form it gives me the option to warn for a DIFFERENT REASON, other than the ones already provided.

As alonzo has said, you were reporting posts every five minutes about the same people in the same thread.

The report system is there to be used by members to report posts that break the rules, that is the purpose of it, if you wanted to talk to Labrocca, there is a Pm system for you to do so.

Again, I posted the offical warning list and the rules, of which I broke none.

The only reason you warned me in my opinion was in petty retribution for questioning your obvious bias and abuse of your position.

My guess is that you are very young, well below normal maturity. Am I right?

I am locking this thread after this post. We don't need 2 running threads about you FBM.

I will say that it was me that has told the moderators to ignore your reported posts.Â*Â*The staff and I have discussed your behavior on a number of occassions.Â*Â*You force this situation upon yourself when you report posts over and over that do not violate the site rules.
When I made this comment I was speaking about dhard and not you. It was my mistake and I told mods to ignore dhard months ago. It wasn't recent and my memory lapsed.

Would I have warned you as Nitro did for the same reason? Nope.Â*Â*Do I think Nitro was wrong in giving you a 1% warning? Nope.Â*Â*It's 1% and you are being immature about this.Â*Â*Is Nitro a perfect moderator? Nope...but he is trying and you should give him some slack.Â*Â*You sent me 5 PMs today over all this.Â*Â*Are you really that upset over some warning points that really don't amount to more than a hill of beans?

I will post in the other thread now but this topic is closed.
