I understand you have a difficult job and in some cases warnings are necessary. However, I was recently banned a week for saying the following: "^ SUCH a tool."......
...
Do you guys really believe that this is worth a one week ban? I understand we have new moderators and they might be a bit power hungry and want to use the "ban hammer" per say, but come on. I think this is a bit ridiculous. It also makes it where I only have one more oppritunity or else I get perma-banned.
If I'm in the wrong, please tell me. But I personally think this has to be the most ridiculous thing ever..

I wasn't the one who gave you the ban, but a quick look at your warning history makes it pretty clear why you got warned and banned. Those with a history of insults and bans get a much shorter leash than quallity posters who follow the forum rules. Having been banned many times before for insulting other posters (such as idiot, jackass, douchebag, dips---), you'd think you'd know by now to just avoid insulting other posters altogether, no matter how mild you think the insult was.

Hey, did my warning level go down? I don't remember how many months I have shown good behavior on here.

I gave you the ban. Like Brick said, those with a history get a shorter leash.

So, I expect every poster that says "troll" or insults someone's thread topic would get these warnings too, correct? Cause to the naked eye, I've seen quite a few get away with it.
I can understand "dumbass", "idiot", "f-----", etc. But TOOL? Come on!

Just looked up the definition of "tool":
One who lacks the mental capacity to know he is being used. A fool. A cretin. Characterized by low intelligence and/or self-steem.

Looks like it's a synonym of "dumbass" or "idiot".
