I am really starting to believe that moderators here are complete idiots. I have recently added a coupon for godaddy com domains that was a short url using their service. The short url was: http://x.co/real799 and is the official url posted by godaddy on their facebook account. This link redirects to: http://www.godaddy.com/?isc=real799 Go to https://www.facebook.com/GoDaddy and see the exact post with the exact link posted by godaddy officials on their facebook account. WHERE THE FUCK IS THE AFFILIATE LINK THAT I RECEIVED AN INFRACTION FOR ?
I hate to see that moderators here don't give a shit and just give infractions to people for not doing a damn thing wrong.
When I first joined up I used to feel that way too. Believe you me,I got my share of infractions and was even banned for a few weeks. But...I quickly learnt the rules and also learnt that the mods don't play favorites, nor do they have "it in for anybody". I'm sure there is a logical reason for the infraction and it wil be explained to you. In the meantime enjoy and derive what you can from "THE FREE SERVICE" that DP provides. (I believe sometimes we forget this)
while im yet to get an infraction, i find the moderation here is a bit weird to be honest and doesnt make for a good impression to either visitors or new members. Personally i dont get why they are so antsypantsy over coupon codes.
From what I understand you got infraction for masking links. Exactly! Its seems rather silly to complain about such petty things when we don't pay for anything here.
http://www.godaddy.com/?isc=real799 that is an affiliate link. Don't get too emotional. I have 7 pages of infractions.
I dont have a problem with the mods, but then some of us know how to take an infraction without throwing foul-mouthed childish tantrums. You may learn that trick when you grow up, sweetpea.
You might feel hard done by, but the mods don't know your intent, mate, even if it was an innocent error. Just move on and forget about it. Worse stuff can happen than an infraction on DP. Did you just get another for mentioning that link? :-P (Joking, if you didn't guess.)
Currently? Zero, they've expired. Just think it's silly to whine about it. You get one, you learn the lesson and move on. That's what they're there for.
darn. 8 pages of Infractions for me from 07 - 09 . Since 09 till now, i am Clean! Oh well. infractions are part and parcel of the dp forum
WTF??? If that's an affiliate link, then my name's Chuck freakin Norris!!! That's nothing but a quick-type coupon code, it would have been the same if he said just type "real779" when ordering the product. @Mods, same from me, just not as explicit as the OP stated.
You must of not gotten slap on back of your hands with a ruler when you were kid, that was infraction right there. Obey DP rules & you won't have any worries.
