I think between them, Michael and R have explained the situation well enough, but as the mod who issued the infraction, here's my little recap.........
Andy cleaned the thread by deleting several posts. One of which was a post by Nikox.
Andy posted a play nice warning on the thread.
Andy doesn't usually do this for fun, you can usually bet there's a good reason.
Completly ignoring Andy, Nikox reposted the message Andy deleted.
I deleted the message and issued an infraction (a 10 pointer, which is about as small as they come) for re-posting the deleted content.
As far as we are concerned, the issuing of an infraction is the end of the matter, unless there is some genuine concern to address.
But..................
Nikox then threw his toys out of his pram.
He claimed that re-posting the deleted post had been a "joke".
I've looked at several sources online for the definition of joke, and reposting deleted shit was not mentioned in any one of them
I've replied to Nikox telling him I can't see how this behaviour can be seen as a joke, and it's actually more like a display of arrogance and dismisal of the site staff.
So you can get the general flavour of his reply, here's a small snipet of what I got.........

The only joke is this so called fansite.

Combined with the post he put on the open forum, I can see why R has decided to increase the infraction points to make up a ban.
Nikox (like every other member) uses this forum free of charge, so to first act like that on the forum, and then to be so insulting to the site and staff when he's given a small infraction for his actions, is not acceptable.
