I've gotten two or three warnings, though never close enough to show up as three warnings at the same time. I was also on probation once during the old system, which was weird because I never actually got a warning before, it just went straight to probation. The rest of the time, it was for being rude, which basically translates to I was having a shitty day and someone pissed me off, which I actually told them. The first time [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/528.275528-Nationalism?page=2#10714741], it was because I called a guy a Moron and a bigot (it now says I just got a warning, but I was on probation for three days). The second time [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/528.392362-Obama-dismisses-Objectivism-as-Immature-and-a-Narrow-Vision?page=2#15822316] was unwarranted in my opinion, but perhaps I was too hostile in my tone, I had just reached a boiling point with the user I was addressing. The third time [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/528.385588-Ohio-GOP-County-Chairman-We-shouldnt-accommodate-black-voters#15336757] was a similar situation in that I had reached a point where it was a straw that broke the camels back situation.
I stand by everything I said, and I feel that my punishments were worth it. I would also like to say that I don't begrudge the Mods for the punitive measures (except the probation thing, but that was more because I didn't actually get my 1 million warnings that you got back then before being put on probation), and understand that the rules must be enforced for everyone.
