An infraction that doesn't make sense

I received an email stating that an infraction point has been placed against me. The thread referenced was this one: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=9125514#post9125514

The reason for the infraction was this: "Bumping thread".

Can a moderator please explain to me how I received an infraction when I have never posted in that thread, and if the infraction was given in error, what can be done to rectify the situation?

 

I just received a similar infraction. When I went to have a look at it my post had been deleted. Is it possible that you posted in the thread and your post was deleted?

 

I doubt it. I don't remember ever seeing that thread before the infraction email was sent to me. I also make it a point to play by the DP rules.

 

Bumping is when you make a post that isn't necessary. Looking at that thread, the OP asked everyone to PM them their offers, however several members ignored that request and posted anyway. If the infraction says "private", the post was deleted.

Did you ever post in that thread?
It is possible it was removed.
