Thankyou for replying to my post.
From reading the rules on infractions it states...
''Most are set at 1 point, except for the Members Market Infraction which is 5. If you get 10 "points" via infractions your account is automatically suspended for a period of two days."
So by my reckoning I should have been given a 5 point penalty for my MM rule break, hense my confusion. The way I see it I was given a forum-wide two day ban for an offense that should have seen me given a 5 point infraction and a warning.
