Shame! The lack of any joined up thinking amongst the mods is astounding at times. I think I can make an educated guess as to which particularly charming poster is responsible. It would be a shame to lose you so, hard as it sometimes is, it might be best if you stayed silent on the obviously argumentative/ trolling/ contentious threads until the infraction expires as it would be sad if those genuinely in need of your expertise miss out because the ignorant and mean spirited few hit the report button with relish.
Hope your recovery is on track too!

You may not be aware of this, but MSE is worse than employers. Infractions NEVER expire! Hence it is impossible to stay on the right side of the mods unless you never say a thing that
someone doesn't like! One of my warnings was for calling a poster who applauded the murder of Jo Cox and called for more MPs to be murdered "scum". That not abuse. It's fact. And given that that particular post had been on the board for TWO WEEKS without being removed by the mods.... And by the way... I'd say it again. Union members get my expertise anyway. If MSE doesn't want it, I'll not be devastated.
And in the union we don't get warnings for calling scum when we see them, nor for telling people unpalatable truths. If someone had brought a situation on themselves or been stupid, they are told so - because the only "defence" is often to tell someone not to bother denying it or to act like an idiot.
