One more ridiculous Warning/Infraction

Discussion in 'Support & Feedback' started by Bombaywala, Feb 8, 2007.

    So I was following this post - http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=231635

    Made few replies - just arguing with the service provider (that's all). Didn't, in DP terms "Hijack" the post, by a) offering my own service, b) telling people to go some place else.

    Why do I get warning for this? I see Infraction was reversed. Then why were my posts deleted?

    Not that I really care about Warnings - If any rule broken from my end - was early on when I was a new member on this forum and I admit - back then I had not read the rules/TOS. And if my posts are to be reviewed - I don't break rules.

    Anyway - my point for this post - I just don't understand why do I get a) warning for my posts and b) my posts are deleted.

    If explanation is rational I will accept or else I might start feeling that the Mod who gave me warning/infraction didn't get laid recently or didn't get morning Coffee!

    Jesus christ, another infraction! I have doubled my infractions in just 1 day!

    How is it useless? I'm telling Bombaywala that I can't see the posts because they have been deleted! Hmmmm.

    Lol and in the mean time this guy is running around flaming me and numerous others :D

    I think he wants a ban, its rather cute

    EDIT: ANOTHER INFRACTION? THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!

    When you have nothing to add to the thread that's what you should add - nothing. There's no need for you to post in every infraction related thread. No need for a response either, let the OP get the response he or she was looking for.

    So its ok for lorien to put a pic up saying don't whine (contributing to the thread how?), but I can't say your posts don't show?

    Righto....

    You hijacked it by derailing the topic. It's a sales thread, not a 'review my pricing policy' thread. If you don't agree with the price, leave it.

    The phrase "mind your own business" seems to fit here.

    There's no need for you to post in every infraction thread.

    Drop it and move on.

    I agree with your phrase

    Given that, wouldn't lorien then have to mind his/her own business?

    That's a bit double standards :p

    I haven't posted in every infraction thread. And lets pretend I have, I don't see why it would matter. Same as if I post in all SEO threads or whatever...

    I don't care about infractions, just aslong as I don't get enough to be banned.

    You are hijacking the thread, this is Bombaywala's 15 minutes. Or perhaps you are illustrating our point in defense of Bombaywala's infraction?

    What happened to democracy of the Internet? I think your judgement on that was quite pathetic - I don't have to agree with you and you too have the right to not agree with me.

    Thanks for reminding me of my rights.

    If every Marketplace thread inded up in a massive argument we might as well close it. That's why discussions should take place in one of the 100 other forums we have and sales in Buy/Sell/Trade.

    Imagine eBay like that... :rolleyes:

    You either buy it, ask a valid question or make a reasonable counter-offer, that's all there's to it.

    How's that for judgement!

    Ok so some a..holes give me red rep without living their names?

    Tops - That judgement is acceptable. I had to know the reason before accepting any kind of warning/infraction.

    There is such thing as democracy nowadays?

    I thought everything could just be rigged!

    Just let it go Bombaywala - I've had like 5 or something infractions today. Just don't reach 10 and get banned.

    I think "infractions" sounds a bit harsh, which is why everyone gets so angry about them. When you think about it you basically get 10 warnings, so its no biggie if you get 1...
