Suspension From Sending PMs--Is it Indefinite?

    Hello,

    I have just been suspended from sending PMs. Another sad tale for me on DP. I was trying to call people's attention to a thread I just attached a poll to. These particular people have already replied to the thread but are yet to vote for their choice. I now realize that copying and pasting messages is regarded as spamming here. It won't happen again. I am sorry. I never had the intention of spamming.

    However, I will like to know if the this suspension from sending PMs is indefinite.

    God, I hope it is not.

    Thanks.

    It's not permanent, but the timeframe depends on how much PM spamming you were doing. The more spamming you were doing, the longer the suspension is.

    DON.

    I spammed about 11 PMs. So will that take 11days! or 11 months!! or 11 years!!!?

    God have mercy. I am really in for it.

    Somebody help me!!! I said I am sorry; I really am.

    Don't worry about it. You will be banned for however long the Moderator or Administrator banned you for. It could be 2 weeks, could be 8 months... You don't know until you can send a PM again. Just be patient and wait... And take the time that you're not using now to read the DP rules thoroughly.

    Just like to say, do you know how *annoying* it is to get PMs from people you don't know, telling you about stuff you don't care about that much?

    That's why there's an infraction for it in the first place ...
