Rules Did I just break a rule?

    Hello,

    I've been reading the faqs and it's written there that "You must have been a member for 14 days, not have an overall red reputation and have 25 total posts to post in the Buy, Sell or Trade forum". Although I personally don't fit in this criteria, I managed to make a post in Buy/Sell forum - although unknowing this rule (I did read it later). What does it mean from the following:

    1. I have broken a rule and instead of implementing some sort of restriction upon such posting, it's my responsibility to track my status and post accordingly?

    2. The rule is somewhat not in effect right now or liberal - atleast maybe for me?

    3. Though I had done wrong, but it was un-noticed but now by creating this thread, I made it's way to the eyes of the authorities and I should now be prepared to get an Infraction?:p

    Since I really fear of DP's hard rules and see a hell lot of usernames in red (banned) I really don't want to be one of them. So, I always want to play safe. (My last couple of hours went into reading the rules).

    Lol You don't have to worry . I checked your posts .. You can reply in Buy/Sell Forum Its just that you cant start a thread their . Try creating a new thread it will show you an error. You can reply anywhere you want you just cant start a thread before 14 days in buy/sell section .

    Whew! Thanks buddy for the clarification. But shouldn't it say "To create a new thread" instead of plain "To post" which scared the ass outta me.:p

    You might have broken a rule in the Buy and Sell section if your post said something like PM ME, or PM SENT...

    Well, I do hope that moderators/administrators closely watch such threads, and may take these considerations in account.

    Is someone there?
