Rules *Please HELP: I got infarction for someone else violating rules and I reported them!

Original thread was here http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2533281#post17926294 The guy was advertising Flippa auction and I submitted a report of violation. Guess what, just now I receive an infarction saying the following in the email: (PLEASE remove this infarction, why should I be punished for reporting someone else's violation? This makes no sense, I am sure whoever submitted infarction for me has done nothing against the original violator :-s

All the best,

Hello, mate. I had the same and then it was immediately reversed. Despite getting the email, it showed as reversed in my profile. Have you checked yours?

Mods are only humans and have a lot of stuff to deal with, so it's understandable they might sometimes make a mistake.

 

Pheww, glad to know. Mine is reversed now. thanks for the message.

 

No problem. I remember when I saw that email I didn't know whether to flip or just be curious and look, because I wanted to know what infractions looked like on a profile.
