I will start like this. Honestly at this moment I am affraid to post on DP because I am close to get banned. It's incredibile but I got 2 infractions down from the sky. I joined this forums about 12 days ago and I love it. But I got today 2 warnings out of the blue and I do not know what do believe. I am afraid to post the warnings here , because I am afraid not to brake some TOS and to get another infraction that it will result in a ban. As an example, one of the 2 infractions I got because I posted in a thread my link to get the confirmation on a link exchange, the topic starter stated on the starting post of the topic that everyone should do that, and I posted as all other 40 members or so. the post has more than 4 lines, so it's not two words or something like that.... and I get a warning for Running Up Post Count/Post Has No Value You're very close to being banned for spamming. Just FYI. My suggestion is that you should check the moderators out here because I am frightened to post on the forum, not to get another inveted infraction like the one above. My 2nd infraction is something similar. I got them both today. Can you give me some advice. I also sent an e-mail to the DP administration through the contact us link. How fast do they reply. Thank you. I would appreciate some help. Ace0.
Uhm no, you're not near being banned. You only have two small wrist slaps out of a possible 10. That's about average for every single member here so if that scares you... Well, stay out of the offline world.
We all get infractions. It often doesn't seem to be justified from the point of view of the person who's received it, but that's how it works.
Three Free Tips: Create threads in the correct categories. Don't post "PM Sent" type posts. Don't spam.
Heh I hear you man. I've come to accept infractions as a "necessary evil" required to manage such a large forum. Sometimes it comes off as tyrannical & unwarranted but I trust and hope that the moderators have better things to do than take pleasure in issuing infractions to members at will without justification...so just deal with it. This is still a very lenient webmaster forum IMO.
Aha. Thanks for the tips people. It's just that I find it hard to accept to get undeserved infractions. If this is ok with the DP tos I could show you the link for the post that I got an infraction, so that you can see why it's so frustrating for me.
Two Mods have already given you the reason...Isn't that enough. Don't post "Please PM me" in multiple threads. If you want info, just PM them directly.
I think you should just keep the link to yourself and get over it. You were not banned anyway. As I always say, charge this one to experience. --Joe
Ok never mind it's usless to debate this. Please close this thread. I will post only minimum needed from now on.
