Not sure, to be honest probably not, but no doubt a very strong plurality. At least 40%. The reason why I'm now down to 1 death points and might not even hit double digits ever again. My lifetime high was 41 I believe.

The main reason of course being that Inks would frequently throw out 7-10s while other mods are pretty reluctant usually to even go above a 3.

Out of curiosity, I just went back to the May and June reports (I think the last two months for which Inks was a mod) and all three US General Discussion mods gave out more infraction points (including, yes, 7s, 8s, 9s, and 10s) in those months than Inks did.  US General Discussion has become a black hole of moderated posts, and seems to be responsible for the clear majority of infraction points these days.

No, but Ernest is, mainly due to a combination of copyright issues and a single tame post that took several iterations and 10 death points to reach an acceptable form.

Inks was responsible for only 1 out of my 21 ever infraction points, which he gave to me for using a curse word in response to a news article about a dad killing his own kid.

I gave myself 10 infraction points for a post in a thread titled "What is Mitt Romney doing the morning after he lost?" where I posted the following image from the onion with the caption, "November 8, 2012: Romney Spends Day Tearfully Apologizing at Father's Grave"



people found it to be in terrible taste and someone reported it so I figured I would spare Morden the trouble and just infract myself for it


My third (and most recent) infraction was during the big hullabaloo about Simfan communicating to the forum through intermediaries while he was banned and how infraction points were gonna be handed out for doing it. While several were arguing about the necessity and propriety of this, I relayed a message from Simi:

The irony was lost, but I got away with it while others' posts were being deleted for the same thing. I had to bring it up like five more times before Gustaf finally gave in and infracted me 10 points for wasting his time
