If it's made private, infractions and arguments would be a lot more confidential.

Thoughts?

As Oli said the report infractions thread has been left there publicly so people can learn from other people's mistakes and learn why what they did was wrong and hopefully not make a repeat offence.

Oh and the above is more of an opinion than a statement.

The part that isn't true is that no rep gets removed :P there have been some instances last week where I haven't removed the rep because they deserved to get the rep and it wasn't just pointless.

As said by Oli again, any pointless +rep will be removed also. It is stated in the report reputation instructions thread.
