So I called someone "ffing noob" yesterday, and like a big crybaby that person reported me. Now since I've been playing practically since beta I never received a warning email from PWE, because let's be frank, everyone is cursing in online games all the time. STO is furthermore filled with trolls, exploiters, glitchers, and even hackers and other more malicious people of the worst kind that roam freely and unchecked, and of whom some of them I actually know the handle names. I could report them any day, but I'm not that kind of person. Let Cryptic see for themselves and handle it i'd say.
I understand my language was a violation, and I don't condone profanity myself actually, but this has to be the violation of practically half the population in the game (or any game). And also take a moment to realize *why* I said what I said; when someone is being pushed there is expected to be a reaction. This is how reality works. The matter was in my opinion improperly investigated.
I hope I have raised awareness as to why I received an warning email for the first time 5-6 years to something completely trivial. Censorship based on feelings and the random whims of every lowest common denominator, rather on solid facts is not the way it should be. It's highly abusive.
You need to disavow this kind of behavior right now.

This is a funny thread, basically shows the type of people I hate running into in game.
So why did you call the person a noob? Were they not doing enough dps? I once got called something worse than a noob just because I was using an elite fleet phaser rifle instead of that TR-116B rifle on ground.

That would mean I would disclose too much information wouldn't it? You're gonna have us killed dude.

I think this thread is going to get closed anyway, I just don't see the point of it.
Well, I think the OP is doing a pretty good job of justifying the accusations against him. Though criticizing other players for *not* being rude and abusive is taking it to a new level, I have to admit.

Ok, OP, I wanted to support you, but making snide one-line comments about others is not helping with your case at all. Based on all the stuff you've said in this thread, no one can sympathize with you.

Your post actually makes me happy, as it proves that, apparently, reports aren't /dev/null-ed (like I always assumed).
Other than that, you know better than to discuss moderation on the forums; so...

Don't support me. Support freedom of speech.
Even freedom of speech has limitations.
Obviously, but regardless, I still think the warning email was harsh and uncalled for. Normally I mind my own business.

Oh please, this is a privately owned forum, owned by PWE: their board, their rules. You don't like it? Tough luck on you!
Seriously why are you so hurt by a warning email? Does it come with in game penalties? Perhaps it's time to let it and this is thread go. That goes for all of us commenting as well.

Taking advantage of (some?) mods being absent on the weekend does not strengthen your case, really. Just sayin'.
Just do what others do when they get a warning: shake it off, and promise yourself you'll be better next time; no biggie. Taking a moderation decision to the forum, however, as you full-well know, only opens the door for even more warnings.

And they haven't been hostile/snide etc in return? Maybe our definitions of hostile differ, but in my personal opinion I've been more entertaining than hostile. If you go check the air of hostility in other, bigger games, you'll see what is really hostile.

I don't know if I would say you've been hostile. You have been insulting, dismissive, unwilling to listen to the factual comments of others. On top of that, you have not been the slightest bit entertaining.
Maybe not for you entertaining, but for others (myself included) certainly. Now the point is not to appeal to other players, but to send out a little message in hope PWE will somewhat change their policies. If they won't do it, then tough luck - move on.
As long as people keep feeding this thread, the message gets out more than you think.
