    Lately I've received 3 infraction on Digital Point worth 3 points.
    The idea is that I know the text for what ... but I don't know why.
    I was announced via email ( so the infractions are not send in the PM ) that is why this topic.

    2 were for something like:
    Someone is selling something
    Me: I'm interested ... do you still have?

    1 for:
    Someone wanted to trade links of different sites ( market areas )
    I: "I'm interested to trade links - coupon market"

    So what I'm doing wrong? Can someone point the points in the TOS that I don't respect?

    I would also like to know why did I get infraction with 2 points. Reason was Plagiarism / Copyright Infringement. I didn't offer or advertise any warez stuff. I simply asked about a website layout company if all of their layouts are made out of images only.

    Thank you.

    I rently got a infraction for posting 'Please Pm me the details' when I should have sent them a PM requesting them to PM me the details, got to say that sometimes I find it quite difficult to communicate on Digital Point, I surpose rules are rules but they can be a little limiting at times.

    GX8 - the problem comes when you have someone post something that generates alot of replies. If you have 3 pages of people saying "I'm interested" the feedback posts saying how successful (or not) it was get lost and add no value to newcomers to the thread.

    Thanks sarahk, I understand how that could be a problems thanks for advising. Of all the forums I use DP does appear to have a number of difficult elements/rules, I often find it hard to find the right place to post, with this and the other minor infractions I think its a little too easy to lose your account.

    Its a constant challenge keeping up with the problem users while trying to leave the good users in peace.
