I'll preface this by saying I lost my temper in an instance and rightly received a warning on my account for this behavior. I agree that I was out of line one hundred percent.

On review of what a warning means, however, I am concerned with the permanent nature of such a warning.

Service accounts as old as eight years exist for the game if they played in 1.0, and five years if they began in 2.0.

I started my journey in 2.0 and this is the first infraction I have received in the five years my account has existed.

It is our duty as players to strive to be upstanding members of the community but I fear that over such incredible time spans one may lose their bearing or become overly frustrated and speak in a way to earn an infraction may only be normal for most people.

I would like to suggest that warnings placed on an account if they must remain permanent may weigh less against future blunders if sufficient time has passed between infringements, especially as the game continues to show signs of passing a decade in age or more.

I'm in no way advocating anything short, like giving someone a pass to speak like that every six months, but if one were to slip up once every couple of years it could lead to a complete account termination, in spirit of the much hated 'three strikes' law in some states of the US.
