    I got an infraction for posting a rick roll i was told it was allready in the charter which it wasn't as it was updated the next morning,Im not bothered about the infraction i did wrong even if it wasn't posted in the charter.But i now have a infractions saying "being naughty" that just seems so stupid and sound like something that would be said to a 3-4 year old!Can it not be changed to the actual reason?as in "Browser highjack/rick roll"

    Thanks

    Don't think it can be edited to where the reason is changed, only reversed. It used to be 'Being a twat' or similar and users were offended by it so that is why you have 'Being naughty' now.

    We can't give custom infractions, only specific preset ones. That seems the most apt though tbh, it's pretty childish to rickroll someone imo. In fact is nearly 1980's to rickroll someone now..

    The default infraction was "muppet" this caused lots of boo hoos and a large number of users thought it offensive (yes really), it was subsequently changed to spanner which an equal number of users felt was offensive (yes really), this led to "being naughty".

    You cant keep everyone happy:)

    Internet -> serious business and all that.
