Appealing a warning is like rushing to the emergency room for a mosquito bite, or driving your car off a cliff because you ran a red light.
I love similies. They are rad. Perhaps you can all make up some of your own. It's like getting mad at the police officer for letting you off with a warning.
Actually, this is the digital version of exactly that.
Except now every digital police officer knows he was warned and it didn't stay between the cop and the driver.
It is ike if the cop went into his car and said:
"Be on a look out for license plate ##### - 777 for future violations". What exactly is wrong with that notion/feature? The whole point of board moderation is to enforce rules, keep the boards "clean", and dole out appropriate punishments for violations.
Using your own analogy, this means that if a digital cop pulls over a digital speeder, said speeder can't say "this is the first time I've ever exceeded the speed limit officer" and get off if he had been caught speeding before. It also means that said speeder need not be arrested if they weren't going too fast, because they'll be let off with a warning.
OT: I still only see one warning. Also, warnings can't be removed anyway, so this thread is pretty moot past asking if you can appeal warnings. Answer: no.
