I just recieved an infraction on a post that is not even mine

Yesterday I received an infraction

"Running Up Post Count/Post Has No Value"

on a thread

http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=8011599#post8011599

that i responded to ONCE

and subsequently bought the software from the author of the thread

How can this be an infraction towards me?

 

This is one thing I really don't get. We are not allowed to 'run up post count' by posting so called pointless things like 'payment sent', yet to leave iTrader you have to had been active in the sales thread. I'm off to read the rules again.

 

Nice point!

 

No. It's not a nice point. It's been said repeatedly here over the last few months that you have to participate in a deal that originated from a thread, but that you do not have to post in the thread if you want to leave iTrader. And if you do want to post to make it more obvious, then post a true review when it's done, or ask more serious questions than for more info that could / should be provided via PM (like having someone PM you stats - if they didn't put it in the OP, they probably don't want it public, and your response belongs in a PM if you want to request things like that).

And you received an infraction for saying "interested pm me" which was subsequently deleted. It's against the rules, whether it's done once or dozens of times. Infractions are pretty much just warnings, so you don't keep breaking the same rule. Take it as a learning experience, and nothing's going to actually come of it.
