Any way to delete old infractions?
I have about 3 old infractions from waaaay back in 2008. While I don't object to the infractions system, and I do also feel my infractions were perfectly deserved at the time, every time I go to User CP I see them staring at me, and they annoy me. I feel like I'm being continuously reminded of past mistakes!
So to get back to my question, is there any way to remove them from my account so I no longer have to look at them? I know that you can click the little arrow so that they're not as visible, but they're still *there*. And would it also not be reasonable for infractions to expire from your account after a year or two, and no longer be listed, similiar to the way infraction points expire? |
Infractions don't go away to my knowledge. The thing is, nobody else can see them but yourself and the admins/mods, so just imagine it as an invisible ticket and ignore it. I've still got 4 from when I started on this forum because I was dumb.:heh:

There is actually a way. :)
Just get 5 more infractions mario and your 4 will dissapear. It's magic! :heh: |

The infractions list is there to help you out. A constant reminder so that you may not forget and repeat past mistakes. Quote:

You could just hide them instead by doing this....
long image And it will default to not showing them when you visit the user cp. |
^ That was a long image you got there.
Past infractions are a pain in the ass indeed, even those 0-point warnings, but I guess they are a good pain in the ass. |

see them as old scars of battle and wear them with pride
(and at the same time, let them serve as a reminder to not get scarred the same way again) ninja edit: Quote:
man, I sure have a lot of infractions |

Based on the fact that it's still accessible through the profile, I guess it wouldn't be so horrible if they gradually went away on the User CP... but not sure if it's worth modifying vBulletin to change that. |
Yes, yes it would. They annoy me too. Especially when a thread is linked to the infraction .. -_-
Well, didn't know there was an arrow to hide them.. At least I don't have to see them now when visiting UserCP but getting rid of them altogether would be better. They've expired so why not. Also why do I have an yellow infraction that says '' Expires : never ''? It says Banned Content but frankly I have no idea what that infraction is even referring to. It's not worth of any points but still. |

This sort of infraction/warning usually has something to do with Section 1.1 of the Rules. |

@Konakaga: I know you can hide your infractions (I mentioned it in the OP), but you still know they're there if you click it again!
@TheFluff: I guess that's a healthy attitude :uhoh: @Daniel E.: I understand the sentiment, but I'd still prefer them not to be there... While I'm all for remembering past mistakes, at some point it gets a little absurd. Remembering mistakes from 3 or 4 years back is beginning to get there. After that length of time most people will have learnt the rules well enough to not make infractionable mistakes again, I would think. |
My only infraction came from the Cross game signature and avatar campaign lol >_> (I still disagree with what was done given that people bunching up for something like that is right at heart with the idea of a community and something that should be encouraged instead imo) and I have a warning, related to signatures again. FML :<

I believe the timer is more of a administrative thing rather then "remember your mistakes" kind of thing. As in, if you do this and that in the course of 1 or 3 years (depending on the infraction) you get banned. That's why I suggested earlier in Dist's case the thing could just be Reverted since it has little to no significance anymore. Anyway the entire thing is way down bellow Subscribed Threads, Subscribed Forums, Subscribed Social Groups and even Subscribed Discussions. You guys are trying too hard to look at it. :heh: |

And anyway, that arrow in user CP seems to be bugged. I clicked on it yesterday, now came back to the computer and the Infraction panel was open again! I haven't even logged out because I'm always logged in.
