This is fine, I've had a gfaqs account for over 20 years and I've only been warned once, never anything more severe than that.

I know I went about 19 years without ever even getting a suspension, then due to apparently spoiling a film that had just released I was given one.

The point is that once you do get one, its hard to come back from them, because you kind of get stuck in a loop where now that because you have a suspension on your record, what would have previously been a no karma loss deletion will now be upgraded to an additional suspension.

The only way out (besides stopping posting for a while) was via permanently changing your posting habits, which in essence is being rewarded for good behavior

Now it seems that good behavior will no longer be rewarded, because too many people were just posting on alts until their mains got back into good standing?

This is an interesting direction to take this, because the moderation system was designed 24 years ago with reformation and rehabilitation as its goal to keep users active, and the site healthy.
