It would be nice if either A) a real description of why you got an infraction or B) a link to where the infraction came from. Considering I just got 3 infractions in a row for 'Inappropriate / Disallowed Post' whatever that means (vague). And it wasnt in my own thread because the posts are still there, so I am not sure what inappropriate posts I made. just says 'post deleted' and I cant tell where it came from. I am pretty sure I never make inappropriate comments thats why it would be great to see what the heck its from.
Check your email. Details are always emailed to you unless you specifically choose not to receive them under your settings. Also, it's not possible for you to get an infraction that shows "post deleted" unless it's your own post.
I can show you the screenshot that says exactly 'post deleted.' unless it was someone elses thread and THEY can delete? But that is what they say. Also, yes, I choose not to get emails about thread notifications, etc, unless there is a setting to only get emails if I get an infraction or some sort. Thank you
one post you made: what is that? has no meaning and therefore not allowed. you should of sent a PM. Procode got the same deal you got. shall i continue? oh, by the way, complaining about infractions only gets you another.
I am not complaining. The owner here, DigitalPoint, is doing a fine job explaining it himself thank you. Get a real job. That 2nd post is not pointless at all. It is a full post with complete sentences, show me where in the rules (that I READ) it states you cannot make valid points. I want everyone to see that so people do not try to PM me and say "ILL PAY YOU IN 2 DAYS!" And according to the owner, I am not supposed to get infractions that say 'post deleted' so is someone not doing their job correctly?
the 2nd post was pointless since your answering a question that should of been sent to you in a PM. a post Procode made: inappropriate since we do not allow those types of posts, you responded to it. your tough luck. what does that mean?
Most people equate the word "real" with "desk" when it is preceding "job". I think he's advising you to immediately stop any profitable internet venture and go about looking for someone to pay you $15-45 an hour, and/or to stop coming to the forums and spend all day working at said hourly wage. It's really not a good idea to insult moderators, TheSA. It's really not a good idea to insult anyone, in any medium. I'd even stay away from it in an "insult this guy for money" contest. In almost all cases except the immediately aforementioned, you will treat people how you will be treated.
Exactly, and he's treating me like trash, so I will do the same. So let me get this straight, a user posts an inappropriate post, which is 'I will take the other review' and I am reprimanded for it? And you wonder why I say get a real job? Maybe you should read what is deemed an inappropriate post, or what looks like post inflating (mine clearly was neither). I don't care anymore, the point of this, which DigitalPoint answered, was me saying there should be more explanation of why you get an infraction. And since I do not like spam, I turned off email notifications. You can close thread.
It's technically impossible for you to to an infraction for someone else's post. It can't be done even if we wanted to.
Well he just stated that I got it because I replied to someone elses post. Almost the same thing. My post was not inappropriate. You can close this now though, ijust have to turn on email notifications or something.
TheSA: What sawz means is that the other person's reply was against the rules. That's secondary to your post, replying to it, also being against the rules. It's against the rules to reply with only "I'll take it" or "pm me, i want it" or "PM sent" that is spam, as it is up to the buyer to decide who the product is sold to, and who the review copies are given to. It is no one's business if you want the item or service in question, except you and the buyer, unless you have questions that can be posted in the topic for public clarification. Then, after you buy whatever it is, you can give an iTrader. That is the extent of the public (on DP) communication that is allowed regarding a transaction. What digitalpoint means, is that this forum uses vBulletin. In vBulletin, you can only give someone an infraction for their post. A mod cannot click on your post to give someone else an infraction, they must click on that person's post. In that sense, the technology does not physically allow for you to get an infraction for anyone's actions besides your own - it is technically impossible.
Your post was inappropriate because it violated our forum rules. Read them again if you still aren't getting it. And do NOT start threads about your infractions unless you want to end up with another. If you have legitimate questions about infractions PM a member of the forum staff. But don't waste our time if you're not going to bother enabling the email notifications that would answer your questions in the first place. That's your choice. You apparently also need to brush up on your definition of "spam."
