    Hey,

    I just found someone has advertised a website on my profile:
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=364528

    username: hanksheng

    And clicked the report link, 3 minutes later I received an email telling me I received a 5 points infraction.

    I didn't know users get infractions for reporting spam.

    Plus just got another infraction, "Thread Started In Wrong Category", thread url: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1590854

    I was not elling anything I just asking for suggestions for a price, not trying to sell it.

    Can someone please clarify these issues?

    Than you,
    PN

    Let me investigate.

    Spamming infraction reversed due to error.

    Second infraction stands.

    By the way, I didn't post this in the buy and sell forum because I am not allowed to do it(I need 25 posts and I must wait 14 days until I can post there) but as this is not a definitive decision, I'd like to hear what you think about the prices.

    Thanks, I'd like to know if I really did something wrong, I can't seem to understand why I got those two infractions.

    May I ask why you waited from Jan. 28th until today to report the visitor message spam made by member?

    I'm not that active, usually I just come here to read threads and do not reply. I rarely go to my profile but decided to take a "tour" to it today and noticed the visitor message and reported it. Did I get the infraction for reporting it too late? I didn't even notice the date it was posted I just clicked the Report link and then got the infraction email.

    No the infraction was in error. I was just curious regarding time difference.

    That's seriously unlucky I'd say. Bad luck! But I'm pretty sure it isn't a regular occurence, just an accident on the mod's part.
