Board changes; Moderation changes;

Not to question the administration of your message board, however, I would like to ask a couple things in regards to these changes. Why are you applying that 'now'? Did any users made complaints about any of the above? Or did you just think that doing this would be best for your message board? Because I just think how it's weird that you're changing how a user gets banned, just recently. Also, I would like to see another change within the forum. I sometimes ask if I have any 'infractions', and I know there's a tab for infractions on a person's user profile, but wouldn't it be much easier to have something on the side of your profile that says:

"You have '0' infraction(s)"
"You have '1' infraction(s)"
etc

Since I think it's easier to know if you have infractions that way?
