    I received 4 Infractions in 2 months. I went a year without one single infraction. Now 4 in 2 months.

    1. - Had a problem with ads not showing properly on my site, posted in the Design&Development section. BAM. Infraction. Moderator says I should have posted in Search Engine. This is not a rule but an opinion of the Moderator. The moderator should have just moved the thread.

    2. - Posted in Services section to find someone who could do a service for me. The service was to use the usernames and passwords I provided them to create accounts on different sites. SMACK. Infraction. Moderator says that you can not sell accounts. Though I was not buying an account. I was seeking a service!

    3. - Someone posted in the Link Exchange section seeking a link exchange. I responded to the thread seeking additional information contributing to the thread. SLAP. Infraction. Moderator advises that you must do link exchanges through PM and not post URL's on thread! Um... I don't recall doing a link exchanges through the thread nor posting URL's. In addition, I've been doing link exchanges for a while now.

    4. - Seeking someone who could generate Facebook fans. I took the beating for this one because its valid.

    I've been active on DP for almost 4 years. I contribute to the community; I have a decent itrader. I create threads, I respond to threads, and I am very active in the marketplace.

    So my FEEDBACK is that Moderators have a little bit more respect. Moderators need to have better judgement in determining if an action of a user is intentionally to disobey the rules of this forum. A RED infraction for posting in the wrong category (based on opinion) is not good judgement.

    DISCLAIMER: - This posting is not complaining. This thread is providing my opinions on the infractions I received and how we can create a better community from the user's prespective.

    Infractions are reminders that members have done something mod deems to be wrong. The infraction is a quick way to alert members regarding the nature of the problem so they will be more careful in the future.

    Account creation services are not allowed.

    Communications pertinent only to buyer and seller belong in a PM.

    Social bookmarking type services are not allowed.

    On reviewing your infractions I see you are using masked URLs which are not allowed. Take a little time and review the FAQ and stickies.
