    I just discover in my cpanel that i receive some infraction saying "Inappropriate Post/Thread", but i don't know to which post or thread it refers, so i dont know what or where i do something wrong.

    Is there any way to know that to learn and avoid doing again?

    The infraction shows like "private", dont shows how put it and no reason and no link to the suppoused infraction.

    What can i do?

    You should have gotten a email about this when you got the infraction.. In the email it says what post and what was wrong with the post..

    As much as some do not like the infraction system, it is necessary to control a forum of this size. An infraction is a simple warning that you have done something wrong. It's not the end of the world, so don't take it personally. There is no real consequence to receiving an infraction, unless you are a spammer or you frequently and blatantly break the rules. If you manage to rack up 10 infraction points, you will be banned temporarily.

    Here is a list of what you can receive an infraction for and a brief explanation of why:

    If it says private, it means we deleted your post. If you have your settings set to receive emails from admin, check the email that came to you to see which post it was. If you have those email settings turned off, you won't get a notice.
