I have another concern. Often times, I'd get infractions on other different forums for insulting and flaming when I'm just defending myself and other sites, they decline reports from people against those who are just stating an opinion. What happens if I get one of those here? Can I appeal it and just state I was trying to defend myself? Will that work?

I was told to join another forum on here so I can be a mod there; then something happened that you wouldn't be concerned about; then when I tried defending myself, I received an infraction for insulting and flaming worth eight points by a member who goes to this forum and was a nice user here. This can escalate real fast if nothing is done.
