3 Infractions - Same Thread (Admins/Mods Pls Read)

Hi,

After receiving 2 infractions for "bumping" a thread with the "10 more spaces available" and "7 more spaces available" type of a bump, the thread I had in the link sales section was deleted as inappropriate.

After some time, I finally found the "Bumping Sticky" on the Buy and Sell level, but had never read this before because I don't visit that level of that particular forum. I have read, and now understand why the 3 infractions were given.

I have tonight sat and read everything that I could about the "rules" and "faqs" here on DP.

My intentions were not to bump the thread to keep it on top, and for breaking the rules I am truly sorry.

Is there anyway that the thread can be cleaned up, the bumps removed and the thread reinstated? If not, am I allowed to repost the Link Sale item again?

Is it possible to have the number of infractions reduced? Technically it was the same infraction, even though it occurred just a few minutes apart.

I truly appreciate the effort that the mods/admins put in here, and the fact that they have provided such a valuable resource. I can guarantee that this will not happen again.

Thank you for your time and understanding.
