    I've been a member here for a few years, today I noticed I have a warning because I replied in a thread and mentioned that I had sent the person a PM about his post and was accused of trying to bump a thread.

    1. It was not my thread to bump so why would I?
    2. You can't bump threads in that section anyway.
    3. The warning was worded like it was written by an eight year old.

    So guys if your running an English forum and you want to slap your members around then at least use mods with a grasp of the English language, I don't think I should have earned a penalty for something so minor either. Petty stuff.

    It’s something that DP is clamping down on. Unless your post is useful for other members it belongs in a PM.

    The forum will notify us if we receive a PM so we don’t need to post saying we have sent one.

    Things like “PM sent” “I’m interested” and “Send details” is classed as bumping or Running Up Post Count/Post Has No Value.

    Read more here: Posting guidelines (Replying To Threads)

    It’s just DP way of trying to clean up for forum, take it on the chin and try to avoid the same mistake.

    Thanks Brian

    I actually disagree, that rule is quite clear, ive been banned here myslef before, and basically, being striaght, why the hell do you need to tell someone you pm'd them? you get a big box on the screen saying you got a pm, so you kinda brang it on yourself.

    Now my argument WAS, there were many many other people saying pm sent or im interested, how come i got the ban, lalala but seriously, just make a rant and forget about it :D

    Are you mad? Why do you want to get banned? You could just choose to stay away instead of being forced.

    Well, think again
    How would you like to get infractions for nothing?
    For something like asking OP:
    Why are you making such a stupid post or are you fucking kidding me?
    Reason: Attacking/Harassing Other Members

    The fact that this member is fucking troll and spammer who just wasted a few minutes of my life
    never bothers Mods who themselves should kick that asshole with infractions instead of teaching me manners.

    Did you just said: it's impossible? Well, trust me in DP everything is possible.

    :)

    They're volunteers... that'd be asking a bit much. Maybe they could just try teaching you to spell "manners". :p

    @Rob

    What the hell are you talking about?
    Why don't you mind you own manners before talking about mine?

    :confused:

    I don't think that should have gotten you an infraction.

    If you come across such posts, just report it and the Mods will take care of it. You've got to accept the fact that the Mods can't check each and every post in this forum.

    LOL, in my case, I'm getting them just for posting and if there is no posts,
    Mods give me one for post I made 1 year ago just to run 10 points count.

    Well, it's just lucky me I care less about infractions and meet them with
    my 2 fingers salute. This one to my last 2 infractions.
