EDIT: this post was originally entitled "Demote GIRakaCHEEZER", and appeared in the forum suggestions section. @GIRakaCHEEZER, I'm sorry for suggesting that you be demoted. If I truly have any issues with you in the future, I hope that we can discuss them in private. I was not justified in making this thread, and I think it has worsened the chance of us becoming friends.

I apologize in advance for the wall of text.
Both of the warnings I have received so far were from GIRakaCHEEZER. (I have come to this conclusion due to the fact that in both instances I received a message from "GIRakaCHEEZER" titled "Warning".)
The first warning was for quoting a post and adding a single world in reply. I acknowledge that this is not ideal behavior on a forum, however I am still a relatively new member and would have appreciated the opportunity to fix my mistake instead of receiving a warning. The reason shown was "Contributing to spammy posting (off-topic, lack of content, etc)".

The second warning was seemingly for suggesting someone seek mental help. I find this particularly offensive as there is a lot of stigma regarding mental health. Fetishizing video game game characters to the point that it affects one's conduct on a forum could be considered a mental health issue. Additionally, the rules say that personal attacks will be dealt with immediately, however I received the warning several days after making the post. The reason for the warning was "General poor behaviour/treatment of other users", which isn't even explicitly against the rules, although I think it probably should be.

Finally, GIRakaCHEEZER made the suggestion that I should make my own game engine instead of working on a hack for Cave Story: http://www.cavestory.org/forums/threads/programming-general.5988/page-3#post-208229
This is despite me previously telling GIRakaCHEEZER to "let me alone" (leave me alone) via private message.
I have made a poll as I am interested in seeing the opinion of other members.
Here are links to both the rules and information regarding infractions:
http://www.cavestory.org/forums/threads/new-forum-rules.3094/
http://www.cavestory.org/forums/threads/implementation-of-the-infractions-system.3394/
The infractions thread is obviously outdated, but it says that warnings do not give points, which isn't the case.
We can also see that the infractions don't have 100% correlation with the rules of this forum.
Also, the reason for the first warning I received isn't even listed on the infractions thread.
I would like to thank the other staff of this site for not issuing me warnings and instead encouraging positive discussion. I really appreciate it. I'm glad that I haven't received more warnings, and I am trying to improve my conduct.
Some other random notes:
* As far as I can tell, there is no way to see if a user is a member of the staff
* I probably shouldn't hang around here so much, but I want to try contributing to the community
* I shouldn't be so excited about a forum for a 10+ year old game
* Sorry for making this thread
