Why not just 2 infractions?

Ritto: Lone Discussion Mod
[13:21] <@ChrisDom> Hey rittu.
[13:21] <+rittu> Salutations, Dom.
[13:21] <@ChrisDom> How long have you been around the forum?
[13:21] <+rittu> Two years, more or less.
[13:21] <@ChrisDom> and in those 2 years, how long have you been a local mod
[13:21] <+rittu> Hmm...
[13:22] <+rittu> If I recall, it was some time late '09.
[13:22] <+rittu> Galrath came into #no and just asked if anyone wanted local mod of Discussion.
[13:22] <+rittu> I volunteered and got the job.
[13:22] <@ChrisDom> Lucky you.
[13:22] <+rittu> Yes indeed.
[13:22] <@ChrisDom> Do you like your job?
[13:22] <+rittu> It's nice.
[13:22] <@ChrisDom> define "nice"
[13:22] <+rittu> I hate seeing cluttered and off-topic forums.
[13:23] <+rittu> During the Goon invasion, which will never be spoke of again, Discussion became a cesspool of terrible.
[13:23] <@ChrisDom> fucking sa.
[13:23] <+rittu> It has made major strides since then.
[13:24] <@ChrisDom> And what do you do as a local discussion mod?
[13:24] <@ChrisDom> Nothing different from any other local mod right?
[13:24] <+rittu> I basically keep the peace, destroy off-topic threads, and until recently, dealt with spambots.
[13:24] <+rittu> Spambots were terrible in Discussion in the past, if you remember that.
[13:24] <@ChrisDom> no spambots in gaming ;_;
[13:24] <+rittu> Now it's basically people with questions, comments, or common issues.
[13:25] <+rittu> (You lucky bitch, spambots are hell)
[13:25] <@ChrisDom> good, do you think you do your job will?
[13:25] <@ChrisDom> well*
[13:25] <+rittu> If I'm feeling nice, I direct the threads into their correct forums.
[13:25] <+rittu> But I mostly lock and shame them, scolding the OP.
[13:25] <+rittu> I think I do it as good as anyone else, when I'm not inactive.
[13:26] <@ChrisDom> In ishi's interview, he said some locals are slacking off
[13:26] <+rittu> After Blak told me to be more active or lose my position, I haven't really slacked.
[13:26] <+rittu> (hiveslack)
[13:26] <@ChrisDom> do you think you are in that slack?
[13:26] <+rittu> Not at the moment.
[13:26] <+rittu> If you see a stupid thread in Discussion, and I'm not sleeping, it's usually gone within the hour.
[13:27] <@ChrisDom> fair enough
[13:27] <@ChrisDom> Do you think you would be able to handle a bigger job?
[13:27] <+rittu> One of the newest threads in the Hall of Shame (http://forum.toribash.com/showthread.php?t=201027) is an example of me sleeping.
[13:27] <+rittu> Honestly, I think I could.
[13:27] <+rittu> It's not like I have tons of responsibility as an smod.
[13:27] <@ChrisDom> mmhmm...
[13:27] <+rittu> There's a whole team of others who are doing the same thing I would be.
[13:28] <@ChrisDom> So, are you saying local mods work harder?
[13:28] <+rittu> Having the power'd be nice, but it would probably lose its novelty after a while.
[13:28] <+rittu> Nah.
[13:28] <+rittu> Just more concentrated work.
[13:28] <@ChrisDom> mmk...
[13:28] <+rittu> Hell, I have to compete with a few smods in Discussion to keep it organized.
[13:28] <+rittu> I'm like Jalis, it'd bore me if there was no major drama.
[13:28] <@ChrisDom> If you had the chance to moderate any other board, what is it?
[13:29] <+rittu> I'd say gaming if you didn't come back.
[13:29] <+rittu> (recently it's been pretty bad)
[13:29] <+rittu> (leel and I were watching it a few hours while on skype, he closed, like, 7 threads)
[13:29] <@ChrisDom> (damn it i travel for free fuck you guys :V)
[13:29] <+rittu> Now that you're back, it should be fine.
[13:29] <@ChrisDom> I know you aren't the only local mod in discussion so...
[13:30] <@ChrisDom> where are they?
[13:30] <+rittu> Nope.
[13:30] <+rittu> Swarfiga, who is completely unknown to me
[13:30] <+rittu> Lightningkid, whos name is too black to do anything
[13:30] <@ChrisDom> where not who
[13:30] <+rittu> and Juntalis, who is just too black to do anything.
[13:30] <+rittu> SAME DIFFERENCE
[13:30] <+rittu> but yeah
[13:31] <+rittu> I'd say I am the most active local mod in the board atm.
[13:31] <+rittu> Mostly because Swarf doesn't get to threads before I do.
[13:31] <+rittu> And Lightningkid/Junt just seem to not care.
[13:31] <@ChrisDom> mmk, last question
[13:31] <+rittu> In fact, there's a thread that might need my attention right now...
[13:31] <+rittu> Kay, shoot.
[13:31] <@ChrisDom> If you could change ANYTHING on the forum
[13:31] <@ChrisDom> what would it be
[13:32] <+rittu> Honestly, I'd re-remove the rep system.
[13:32] <+rittu> >w>
[13:32] <+rittu> HURRDURR LOOK AT ME GUYS I HAV MORE REP SO I AM MORE POPULAR
[13:32] <+rittu> It was fine without it.
[13:32] <@ChrisDom> but i like the rep :<
[13:32] <+rittu> well you are a stupid face
[13:33] <@ChrisDom> lol
I'm a stupid face.

Reason: I CUT OUT THE 'OH GOD LOL' AT THE END BECAUSE HE DID NOT COPYPASTE THE STUFF AFTER, MAKING IT LOOK LIKE I FIND MYSELF EXTREMELY AMUSING
