http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1549145#post12776039 i got an infraction because "Pm sent" was too small a character limit and my message pointing this out was termed "Inappropriate / Disallowed Post". Since "pm sent" is a COMMON response to posted threads for services ASKING for PM's as responses, why is the post limit set so low for this function? How can it be helpful to get so much negative feedback from a site that supposedly benefits from a community driven interaction dynamic?
As I Quoting the forum rules mentioned by Shawn you should not send reply like PM sent as it is obvious as whenever any member login or refresh his/her windows , a popup will be displayed as new PM received. Agreeing with forum rules, reply like "PM sent" is a simply wastage of resources.As this community is huge and lot of members sending response like these will add extra burden to DP.so avoid posting such response which are of no meaning or very short. As rightly said use email instead.
As u got the infraction coz u were out of the rules as posted by shawn....it ll be like ur post has no value.he ll know automatically when he ll recieve the PM....read the rules carefully .
