Infringement — 2 points, expires in 60 days
You've posted an entire article without proper consent from the author or you did not properly link to and credit the source.

Obviously I checked the rules after receiving that ridiculous warning
not linking a source is NOT what infringement means.
You said that you would reopen the thread if I gave you the source, which I did, so why wouldn't you reverse the warning too? Why is forgetting a source worth two warning points that don't expire for two months? Why is forgetting a source on the same level as ACTUALLY infringing and posting an entire article from a website?
You could've simply closed it and asked for a source and avoided this drama. Threading something without a source is infringing no one.
I've seen plenty times in the past where threads are closed with mod notes that it'll be reopened if they provide a source. It's not like I would write up an entire article and find a random picture of a child just for a quick drag on Microsoft 
I even made sure I posted no more than half of the original article.
