    What value does a "thanks" post have?

    You got to come up with a nice pic for these YAIT's.

    Geesh,,,,everybody that gets an infraction just has to start another thread.

    Here is an idea for the mods....
    Give another infraction for starting another infraction thread.

    Did you bother to read other million similar infraction threads??

    Poting a mere 'submitted mine, thanks' is an offensive crime.. you are lucky to escape with just two infraction..
    Nex time you do it, and you will be reported to feds, and your ability to get connected (The Internet) will be taken away...
    Or even worse you will be stabbed and left on a lonely island with a couple of coconuts and an ass spanker...

    It certainly has meanings to the person who was thanked. It sounds a bit harsh to me.

    So send him a PM and make out with him. No one else is interested in reading dumb "thanks" posts.

    The same thing i did for long time and never received infractions. It sounds like DP changes it's regulations. OK, next time I will send thanks by PM.
    Thanks. :D

    I am a directory owner, and someone posting "submitted mine thanks" in my thread means nothing to me unless it contains some valuable feedback or suggestion..

    I would know that someone has submitted a site in my admin panel, more over I would not be sending cookies to the person who submitted the site...

    ACTUALLY, you've only received one infraction :).

    Think of it this way...There are over 500,000 member here. What if you had to read through 100,000 "thanks" or "Submited mine" or "lol" posts to find the real info that you were looking for? If you feel the need to tell someone something that no one else cares about, just PM/email them.

    Oh My God!

    This is the 28th or 29th "I got an Infraction" Topic.

    You know, I wasn't wrong when I said that we should have a separate board for INFRACTION WHINING!
    All those who cry for is will go there!

    Everyday, one or the other comes up complaining and whining!

    Even I have got infractions but I haven't come up complaining!
    It will only make the mods get more attention to you and you will soon get another infraction! :mad:

    Forumsolutions,
    I didn't complain. I wanted to know what was the infraction for, because as I said, never I received it for "Submitted mine, thanks" post and many many people do the same every day. So I only asked, didn't complain.
    I think topic is solved and can be closed.
    Thanks.

    Sorry for that though!
    But every infraction thread made looks same to me!

    Even I have one infraction for that and I realized why!

    So things get over at that very time. They are usually given and once given, you are not repeating it again, are you?

    Hey, I do have to agree there should be an place in the corner in DP for all the "Why did I get an infraction".

    I recieved some and didnt complain. I reviewed the links and what the mod said why I recieved one. My first instinct was to shout and complain. But a little sense kicked in and tried to see the point of the Mod's perspective.

    Could I have done something different in order to not get the infraction? My answer came up yes in both instances. Well one of them I think I could have made an arguement. But still, I could have reworded things, waited, started a new thread, or not posted period.

    I feel the infractions are important. They are there to remind you or to encourage you think before you say. To do some research before you post. Helps one to know what a spammy post is and how not to write one. And to add to a post that has relevance to the post in question.

    Of all the posts I have - I am sure that atleast 1/3 of them would have all infractions all of them. I would look like some colored rainbow walking around in the forum from all the colored infractions given.

    I only feel that in helps in my writing skills and my critical thinking in on how to post in forums.

    Enough said - now hides in corner from an infraction

    There is so many people that say Thanks for posting, thanks for downloading, thanks for buying. Did i miss this new rules when did they come? Do the mods put warnings on everyone that say thanks now then? Beucase there is loooads.
