I got an infraction for having a thread that wasnt even that similar to another one that a moderator merged it to. I didnt get a notice or anything. My thread had about 60 posts, this other one had 9. I think there should we should be able to talk with the moderator who gave the infraction. In other words, enable to "Posted by" part of the infraction system.
If it's only one infraction don't worry about it. We're all in the same boat - none of us know which moderators give out the infractions. One thing you can be sure of though - if you got one you broke the rules somewhere. Just take it in the spirit it's intended, as a friendly warning and reminder of the rules, and don't make the same mistake again.
Your thread on "Just curious to see the male to female ratio of webmasters out there." Looks similar to "Men n Women on DP." We get that question as well as Where do you live? How old are you? over and over.
Its a bit different than finding males and females that are single or not, but perhaps I just see things a tad different. No worries Perhaps since the other thread was dead, that one shouldve been merged into the new one, since you think they were similar? Perhaps not, Ill drop it now XD.
