here is a question for yall on infractions.
an infraction is issued for insulting another member because the moderator read the post the wrong way.
the infraction was not deserved, and the person that was supposed to be insulted agreed that it was a joke, not an insult.
so the infraction was reversed by the issuing moderator.
now the mentioned non-infraction took place almost 2 years ago now, but still shows up as a sort of slap in the face every time i open my user control panel for doing nothing wrong.
is this going to be a forever reminder to me that i was unfairly accused of doing something wrong??

Two questions:
1. What's a site troll?
2. Tom, you're from Jersey and DIDN'T insult somebody???? Say it ain't so! Don't you know we have a reputation to uphold????
All kidding aside, I welcome this very well written post for the civility it helps maintain on this forum. It is a very big part of what makes this forum one of the very best, of any topic, to be found. I quit another forum (ElantraXD) because they not only insult newbies and "outsiders", but they wouldn't even post my nicely worded objection to them ripping another newbie a new one.....sheeesh. Their monitors screen every post before it will appear.
Thanks ya'll, and keep up the great work!

Its a "forum jargon" term.
It essentially describes someone whose whole purpose is to "stir up crap" and not contribute to the community in a positive manner.
An example would be someone who registers and says "All y'all Ford owners are flaming ^$#@!*$ and Dodge makes the best truck out there".
Apart from being wrong , they would be called a "troll".
