Suggestion Graphics & Multimedia BST Infractions

Discussion in 'Support & Feedback' started by Hecky, Aug 9, 2010.

    Hi,

    I think that users should get infractions for responding to threads in the Graphics and Multimedia section that are asking for paid designs. This would help to stop people posting BST threads in there which results in less work for the honest designers who play by the rules.

    It's already against the rules to respond with 'PM sent' or 'I can design this for you, PM me', but I don't think this is being enforced in this section outside the BST.

    Yes, I am asking for more infractions to be handed out!

    Thanks

    I am agreeing with Hecky, after seeing the conditions there. The thread starters also using it as BST. And some members are just posting without reading also. Here is one of the example of it - http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1899644&p=14740250#post14740250

    I know, the reply from Moderators would be report those posts. But still, if any Moderator goes there and check some posts than it will be better.

    Just report it using the /!\ in the bottom left.

    The rule PM Sent - Do not post "PM sent", "I sent you the details", "check your inbox", or any other related terms. People know when they get a Private Message. If you really want to notify the user that you sent them a PM, email them. is not just for the BST, it's for any reply to a thread... According to the FAQ/Rules.

    Well people continue to post there so I'd assume their either >really< dumb or they aren't getting them

    You have to wait I think 60 seconds between each report, and seeing as there are usually a good dozen/half dozen every time I visit, that's a long time to wait..

    If there's 3 PM sent messages in the thread, for example, I report the first one and put "PM Sent - More below this one"
