It's not "infractions", apparently (why would it be? that would make sense)
[...]
brilliant DB architecture, guys... use the "session" table to lock users out.
If you understood the meaning of "infractions" in vBulletin, then it would explain itself. I suggest having a look at the manual.
There is nothing wrong in using the "session" table to lock out users, it is a session after all...

Over the session/infractions table? See above.

Some of the features in vB make me think they're there just so the devs can say they put them in. IMO, waste of processing power, and of no use to anyone.
Have you even considered that there is a way to turn it off? What you're suggesting is that the devs tailor vBulletin for YOU?

Blame the developer of that add-on? You can't really blame the devs here. Or maybe you could've had a look at the manual? It would've told you to add a line in config.php which would disable all plugins from running...

It's actually quite developer-friendly, but I'm not going to even start.
