I am not sure if it is the right place for this question. Today I received an infraction for reason "Thread Hijacking". I will really appreaciate if someone explain me about this. I just replied to a post without any personal advertisement. here is email
I don't understand why you created this thread? If you have a problem with an infraction then contact a mod. You could always take the most intelligent appoach and re-read the forum rules learn and forget and move on.
I would suggesting contacting a mod... but i don't know which mod because there are many mods who are moderating DP How do a regular member can guess which mod is the best to contact? (this is indeed my question)
Any mod will be fine, note that Digitalpoint aka Shawn will get more PM's than other mods and admins so he may be slower to respond. But you can click this link here and find one. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showgroups.php
Agree.. Due to this confusion, I created this thread.. Once, I PM to 2 MOD but didn't got reply, so I though to ask here form other expert who know about this.. Still I am waiting for its explanation. MOD please reply here so that other people can also avoid this mistake.
Seems like hijacking to me as well - don't take it personally but your post was ( indirectly ) pointing to your signature and, from my point of view, not relevant to the thread.
Thread starter was soliciting information, not services; hence your post hijacked his thread to sell your services.
"Thread Hijacking - received an infraction at Digital Point Forums" May I be so bold to ask where else you would expect the infraction to be from?
Shawn be my guest and tell me what Am I missing? sj2012 is asking: and then Reliable provided very plausible and appropriate explanation after he took his time running lookup, that age of domain might be a factor why domain is not coming up in searches. If anyone should get infractions in thread started by sj2012 is OP himself for trolling and dropping fake signature and bunch of Bozos who made useless suggestions and not Reliable, the only person who tried to make any sense. fastreplies
Thank you very much .. you are the only man who could understood this.. Perhaps MOderator didn't even realize that I visit godaddy, Fill captcha and got the inforamtion so that I can explain it to new person who is not aware of these thing.. But they thought I am selling my services... Perhaps it would not be an infraction if someone else (who is not selling anyservice) have given the same reply. Anyway, please close this topic. Thank you
They might not be lazy, but have lots of work so busy.. Anyway, They are genuinely reverse my infraction. Thanks to them. To error is Human.
Seriously? People go through all that to get a whois? I copy the domain, open a new tab, type in whois.sc/ then paste in the domain and hey presto - it's done. Admittedly the whois redirects but as a user it couldn't be easier.
