Seth, a zero point infraction does matter because this warning sets the stage for point infractions in the future. If a moderator glances at someone's infraction history and sees a user has received a warning for something in the past, they are more likely to give out more serious punishment.
I've been in the staff chat before, and I know how the inner dealings of the chat work. Actions like this are debated for a long time. When I gave two people an infraction for a Shoutbox argument that ended in insults back in the fall, there was a lot of debate about whether or not the course of action was the right one. Someone initially reversed it, but then the staff agreed than an infraction was indeed worth it.
The staff simply could not have responded to Kitsu in this short amount of time. A lot of the moderators are actually a bit shy to talk about anything that might provoke arguments. They need some time to develop their opinions on the matter and feel comfortable expressing them in chat.
This wouldn't be a big deal if this wasn't a consistent pattern of behavior from Kitsu. It's even worse that he constantly targets the same group of people.
I joined this forum to have fun discussing one of my favorite game franchises with people who also enjoy Zelda. It's unfortunate that Kitsu's behavior even causes distress to members in the first place. It doesn't matter how good he is at his job if he doesn't treat other people with respect.
