I received a few right off that bat because I was unsure of how strict the moderating would be here. I understand they are probably trying to keep a tight hold on people here that do not mean well, but for people like me that want to enjoy the forums, it is really disappointing that I have to jump through hoops just to be able to post in "certain areas".
All we expect is new member read and follow the rules and guidelines set forth in the FAQ. It takes ten infraction points to be banned so a few infractions along the way does not jeopardize your stay so long as you learn by your mistakes. We have all been new members at forums and have made mistakes along the way.
I understand everything now so I will not worry about the 2 given to me. Especially since I know I will not hit the 10 mark to get banned. Thanks for response and nice forum community.
