umm... what are infractions and their consequences. I've gotten 3 of them in the last 3 days since I joined? and I got one for the post i made here about the value of the site. I thought this was a forum, where I could share my opinion it maybe wrong, but its an opinion based on experience I thought that was the whole point of this forum, to share ideas to make all of us successful? how do i contact an administrator to get these infractions explained.
I've moved this from the thread where you initially made it because discussion doesn't belong in Buy/Sell/Trade threads - just as doing deals isn't appropriate in the discussion threads. You can give feedback on the deal which, I guess, is what you thought you were doing. You hadn't, however, done any business with the Thread Starter/Original Poster (OP). It is up to potential buyers to do their own due diligence and not for others to interfere (positively or negatively) in a sale.
you guys are giving out these infractions like there's no tomorrow. i got 2 just today. 1st - i didn't even know what infractions were 2 - i didn't know you can get them for asking for the first time what infractions are (yeah i get it, read the forum rules, i bet less than 1% of users read that thing as soon as they registered. 3 - i didn't know you can get them for an honest opinion, my opinion was malicious in intent or nature, i gave proof to back up my opinion with my own experience, i got an infraction for that can't remove these infractions, i clearly didn't know better.
Ignorance isn't an excuse. Just because you chose not to read the rules, does not mean you're at all exempt from them. Best thing to do now is read the rules and the infractions thread ( http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=216611 ), forget about these infractions, they'll expire before you know it. You've got 3 so far, until you've got ten it's really a non-issue, and unless you intend to break the rules more they're totally irrelevant.
They aren't really a problem - they're just a way of letting you know that the mods had to take action.None of your infractions were for asking what infractions were. From taking a look through this is what I found you got involved in a thread to do with the sale of a facebook page - that's not allowed here and the infraction should have notified you of that. you asked a seller what the bin price of their deal was. If they had one it would have been noted at the top of the page. you commented on the price given in a thread It wasn't an appraisal discussion thread - it was a sales thread you asked a seller to send you a private message - this adds no value to the thread for anyone and you should have sent a private message to the OP with details of what you wanted to know. I get that you are a new user but anyone who joins any forum community needs to take a look around and see how things are done - you'd do that if you started a new job/school or went to a party with people you didn't know. You don't just leap and expect to get it right every time.
The rules here are like Apple/Google 's agreements. Everyone agrees to them but no one actually reads them. When you are here, you are expected to be educated and read all the rules, global ones and forum specific in and out. Have them infractions you got as a lesson.
i am also suffered from this "infractions". my account is very old and i had more then 25 posts. Yesterday i put one of my website for sale in " Buy, Sell or Trade " category by creating new thread. I also got 2 bids for that website within some hours. But i don't why 3 infractions raised and administrator deleted my auction thread and i am not able to recreate. ITS TOTALLY A WRONG RULE! There should be option to pause the auction instead of delete. Thats why digitalpoint can't take position of flippa. Please advise me, if there is any way to recreate auction in my account or i should say bye bye to this forum website.
If you are unable to follow our rules, are are here for no reason other than to sell stuff, then yeah... probably best to use a site that is FOR that (like Flippa).
Dear non-responsive Shawn, I'm not sure how many times I'm going to address you but you are talking like you are aware of nothing. Look around and you'll see why people don't want to participate with those people to "discuss" what SEO is and how to get backlinks. Including myself, I see no use of this site than BST, really, you should think again when responding to queries.
Why? If Flippa works better for them, why wouldn't I recommend they use it? Would seem silly to tell someone to use this site for something if it's not a good fit for them. Everyone is going to have a differing opinion about what the useful part of this site is for them... It's useful for something, otherwise they wouldn't be here. For me personally, the BST area is the least useful. I've never once tried to sell anything there. The forums themselves aren't that useful for me either. The forums were started because we needed a support venue for the parts of the site that I would still consider the most useful even today.
Admins with small mans syndrome....ive had 4 and only joined 4 days ago.....heres to number 5 i guess!!!
Shall we start with this thread: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2530218 Lots of users had already posted helpful and informative information and you come along with a recommendation to look at w3schools and php.net - because it has all the php functions. This added nothing to the existing discussion where the user already had the needed information. It was as if you'd read the first post, skipped the rest of the thread and put down whatever came to mind. Thinking back to when I was a newbie and wanted to understand code like <tr class="<?=($c++%2==1) ? 'odd' : 'even' ?>"> PHP: It was only because I'd coded cobol, vba etc that I had a clue what was going on and was able to search for it. How do you search for the function % Takes a bit of doing, which is why in the thread people HELPED rather than just referring to w3schools and php.net Maybe you've been a coder for so long that you can't remember being a newbie but you weren't obliged to post.
if there is a category of BUY, SELL, TRADE then administrator of website has to full fill there motive. admin need to try their best to help users to buy, sell any thing instead of deleting any auction. is it right?
then i have a question, how to different on telling fact and Insulting ??? If someone stolen from me, i make police report with all my proof, then warn other guy about it, is that insulting or FACT ? when telling fact is prohibited here ? serious i don't understand
