Concern on "Running Up Post Count/Post Has No Value"

    I am not here to complain just want to clarify something.

    Yesterday I was in need of a service
    and I was shopping around in different threads in the services section

    I was not clear about the deals and I wanted to learn more about
    the deals offered, I thought that my concerns might concern other
    members that want to purchase particular service so I posted my questions

    Since I was not going to grab the first deal that came my way
    I posted on 5 different threads/services and the questions were really
    similar (I did not even copy and paste)

    My questions is: was that the reason I got "Running Up Post Count/Post Has No Value" 2 infractions ?

    because I have no way of knowing for which particular post I got the infractions for ....

    If it was not that then I am really puzzled !!!

    I'd be really glad if any moderator can point to the exact posts that caused my infractions ...

    I want to believe that I am contributing to this forum and I want to follow the
    rules, and I thought I was not braking any rules, but at least I want to learn
    from my mistake but someone has to show me what I did wrong, because I
    am really puzzled !!!

    Thanks to all

    EDIT: i checked all the posts that I was referring to and of them are still in the threads ?
    I guess I am really puzzled now. I can't understand what posts caused the infractions !!

    Sometimes, infractions are given for no reason :)

    I know that place Nestrer
    but there is no link to the actual post
    On the column labeled "post" it says private so I can't really tell

    In your profile or userCP you'll find the infraction, click on it and it'll lead to the post in question. On the off chance it says that it's private, the post was deemed to be so worthless that it did not deserve to be seen by the public any longer and was therefore deleted. In such cases, you'll just need to trust the whim of the mod that issued the infraction.

    However, in such cases, I do think that the thread will still be given (EDIT: The post above this one says I'm wrong, so, erm, sorry :( ). If you hunt down the thread and can recall what you posted in it, maybe that should be proof enough the post had no worth. If it wasn't important enough to recall, then do you honestly think it was important enough to read?

    I'm not saying you were/are worthless, I'm just saying that someone seemingly thought one of your posts were.

    What one member finds worth in, another member may not. When that other member happens to be a moderator, then sometimes that member may issue an infraction. There is ALWAYS a reason for an infraction being given.

    "Sending you a PM" is an unnecessary post. They know you sent them a PM, so there's not need to post that in the thread.

    There's always a reason. If we give infractions by mistake, which has happened a few times, we always reverse them.

    They probably did. In that thread, the OP had asked for replies by PMs, not by posting in the thread. So posting in that thread was unnecessary.

    Same thing goes for at least some of the threads you are talking about, Chios.

    No matter what the reason, you are always better off PMing one of the mods and discussing it, than starting a thread about it.:cool:
