    Dear Mods,

    I have received an infraction for one of my post on 28th July with following details.

    *****EMAIL - START*****
    Dear PankajKumar,

    You have received an infraction at Digital Point Forums.

    Reason: Running Up Post Count/Post Has No Value
    -------

    -------

    This infraction is worth 1 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire.

    I can do a good review. I have website with high traffic, domain etc. Please PM me details
    ---End Quote---
    All the best,
    Digital Point Forums
    *****EMAIL - END****

    I am not sure where is the problem with my reply. I have an account and as per the thread owner "NewTier", she was willing to give 10 review copies, so I replied that I can do a good review for your product. To make things more clear, I also mentioned as I have website, good traffic and other details. I don't see any reason for getting an infraction for this post when I can show at least 1000 posts with "Thank You", "Thanks for sharing", "I can do that" replies.

    Not to mention, two of the replies in the same thread are "let me know these methods" and "I have NeverBlue account and I'll be happy to review your method." and they didn't received any infraction, then why my post got it.

    Please clarify.

    PS: I have learned a lot from DP Forum and it has helped me in a big way to achieve my IM goals but these type of incidents just make me feel bad.

    Seems like a legit infraction to me.

    2 things wrong with this.

    1) It belongs in a PM.
    2) Saying "PM me Details" is against the DP rules.

    Pankaj, i am agree with you at this point, i have also got infractions for me post, But i think if we post just where it is necessary to post and give value, then we can get rid of the problem, but I think it's India, pakistan, bangladash and other region countries having problems while doing hardwork and even if we give a good n value to the web we are still in hot water with adsense, paypal and other important services.

    1) It belongs in a PM. - You want to say that I should have sent her a PM but when somebody is willing to give review copy, if I won't post a reply how the other people will get to know that there are some one ahead in the line for review copy.
    2) Saying "PM me Details" is against the DP rules. - This really make me smile. Just go to BST threads and you can see this in 100s of thread.

    Hahaha PankajKumar,

    If you're looking for a review copy and you post asking for it, that's against DP rules. And, anyone who says "PM Sent" or "PM Me" should get reported and be infracted... Use the /!\ button in the bottom left. Click the below quotes to see where the rules are stated.
    You should get infracted for starting this thread. :)
