    I got 2 infractions for 2 different threads that were in the right category with the message:Inappropriate Post/Thread

    could anyone explain what those are?

    Inappropriate post / thread can be any number of things. For example, it might be a "PM sent" kind of post that's against the rules, or when someone starts a thread that they're not allowed to start (like for stumble exchanges, currency exchanges, to sell accounts, etc.).

    Looking at your infractions, I'd say you got them because in one you posted:

    and in the next, you posted:

    You're not allowed to tell people to post in your thread to get a PM, to express interest, to say "sold," or anything at all along those lines, because it constitutes asking people to bump your thread for you. Instead, they have to PM you directly if they're interested.
