I have today received an infraction for replying to a thread asking for them to PM me the url of a website. The infraction was because the person who started the thread asked for people to PM him to request the information. I have received an infraction despite not breaking any rules of the forum! I have just not done what the OP requested. The infraction doesnt bother me in the slightest, it doesnt affect me using the site. However i have been a member here for around 7 years and you give me an infraction for not even breaking a rule! Dissappointed pretty much sums it up!
Only if you have bothered to read the rules in those 7 years.. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/faq.php?faq=rules#faq_posting_guidelines
No matter how many years you have been here, posts you have made, friends you have added, itraders you have accumulated, feedback you have received or suits you have in your closet, you are still subject to infractions if you break the rules.
This topic only rectifies my thread at the fact this forum is far to strict in the most ugly nature possible and doesn't give two shits about it's users.
I don't know what you are talking about, this forum is very well administered. Unlikely other forums such as BlackHatWorld, MoneyMakerDiscussion or whatever.
The mad thing is, about a year ago i got an infraction for asking people to PM me and not reply to a post...so i damned if i do and damned if i dont. All i can say is im not impressed with the site in the slightest. Its not like i have been offensive or done anything bad. I have slowly been reducing the amount i visit this site but i thin this is the final nail in the coffin. Its upto them whether they choose to do anything but i have atleast given my opinion.
If that's the case then that was probably a mistake as a lot of users ask people to post and not to PM. The mods probably just read it the wrong way.
You did break the rules. You posted something which could have been handled by PM, and you will likely get another one for starting this thread.
