The whole purpose of the infraction system is to let you know when you do something that we rather not see you do. It saves time for the moderator in question since the notice gets sent to you automatically with the reason for the infraction or warning. The infraction expires after a period of time and no one else sees it anyway, so what's the harm? It's the only way for us to keep a reliable history of offenses. Had you not posted about it here, no one else would have known. If you felt the need to question it, then sure, PM the MR2Board account. The reason it says not to reply is because the PM comes from the MR2Board account and not the moderator who issued the infraction. A thread is created when an infraction has been issued and if the other moderators feel the infraction was not necessary, it can be reversed. Making a public post about it is not a good way to get it reversed though.
