    Is it just me, or are they WAY too strict? I keep getting infractions!

    I returned from my ban on the 22nd and got an infraction. They once gave me a 60 point one (and you're only allowed 30 or something) for nothing.

    Anyone else get a lot of infractions?

    Another time I got one for saying AdSense sucks - WTF is wrong with that?

    I always get infractions there, just for having a signature. -_-

    WHT is a bit strict but they do that to prevent people from flaming. I'm pretty active on WHT and I've never ran into these problems because I don't go around and directly insulting people/companies.

    I didn't insult anyone (except one of the mods once - look at my infractions and guess who)

    It does not surprise me at all. You conduct yourself the same way on many forums. I have been on at least a couple where you have been banned.

    I don't like crooked mods. Only the forums with crooked mods I get banned on.

    I was one of the retired moderators there. It wasn't that way when I left. Perhaps you can drop Old Man or the Mouse a PM on the reasons? Their explanations will definitely be more convincingly that the one liners that comes with the infractions.

    I get ignored. Same with the helpdesk.

    Someone was impersonating my (old) hosting company, and they just ignored me.

    Glad I dont need to visit WHT anymore!

    Well if you do anything even remotely close to what you pulled by my forum I could not blame them ;)

    Really? Should I post up some of the vile threats/posts you made by us?

    I am sure it is not the fault of the forum in this case. :D

    I've never got an infraction on WHT mainly because I don't really hang around there.

    I would recommend they settle down a little bit, I've heard many stories of people getting banned for nothing at all really.


    Although it's their website, they can run it however they want.
