In summary, the individual was previously infracted for a general information infraction on a forum post. They were unsure of the reason and questioned what they may have done wrong. The admin clarified that it was just a warning and not an actual infraction, as the individual had posted their homework in the wrong forum category. The admin reassured them that there were no points given and no need for a reversal.

Hey,

I was infracted a few months ago with the reason being general information infraction.

I don't know what that means or what possibly I could have done wrong.

I in no way am questioning the decision of the admin or asking for a reversal.
I just want to know the rule I accidently broke. :-)

The General Information warning is just giving you a heads up. There was a complete explanation in the warning. It was letting you know that you had posted your homework in the wrong forum category and it had been moved. It was not an infraction, it had no points and there is nothing to reverse.
