#1. Only Mods can give you infraction #2. if you would have not brag about it noone would have known about it and you would have not had black marks against your name #3. 'Submitted mine, thanks' has no value next time make really useful post like, 'You have a nice directory there, I like/dislike your color theme and its very easy/not easy to navigate through directory. I think you should have such and such categories too'.(This is what I do) and if you think its too long to make a post then dont make a posts at all.(this is what I do when I dont have anything usefull to say)
