Moderating a thread that's 3+ months old?

    I just got a warning for a post that was made 3+ months ago, was that necessary? I don't think its effective as getting it moderated within days? I bet you can ban me again if you just go back to all the threads I've replied 2 years ago, but is it reasonable?

    No offense but I just don't see a point. And the warning was for quoting the spammer, which consisted of just a link. I'm sorry I don't agree on this one.

    There is no statute of limitations on violations of posting guidelines.

    When we get under your skin, you will go back 2 or more years to get us banned.
    I am a living example of your wrath.

    a. It was only a yellow warning not a red infraction like it could have been.
    b. It was quicker than having to send you a PM asking you not to quote spam links.
    c. The spammer posted several spam links today so his recents posts were cleared of spam as well.
    d. Your quote of their spam then also needed to be removed costing more time to be used, and also helped the spammer.

    Hey, welcome back fastreplies :p

    @Mobius -- At least it was a yellow, not a red... Not a big deal, it doesn't count towards anything.
