hey, i am relatively new here, only joined a month ago, and i've already clocked up 500+ posts. Thought it was about time for an introduction. i mainly post in the Contests forum, in the BST section! i have a few questions still, as i'm still quite new, and i didn't wanna get an infraction for stupid questions, so i'll ask them as a 'newbie' 1) On the main page, on the member list there is all the user names in various colours Light Green Dark Green Light Red (almost pink) Dark Red Gray Bold Green Could anyone explain what these are? and finally 2) If, for example, i've posted a design in the contests forum, is it 'legal' to have a go at another member who has clearly copied my design, without using any foul language, merely pointing it out to other users, and the user himself? It happened to me, and i feared being banned because the argument went on for a while. i had a few members pm me to tell me i was right to have a go. Thanks, Call me Jack by the way
Jack, I don't about the colours but as far as your 'argument' was concerned, I read the said argument and it's fine. People are allowed to disagree or debate in a civilised manner, which you did. You were annoyed but you weren't rude, besides you felt he stole your design. Of course you're going to say something! You will not get banned at all. No way. Besides you should see some of the proper 'arguments' on some forums - they go on for pages. You only made a few posts. Nothing to worry about at all pal. Anyway I've been checking you out and I really like your work. I think you're really good.
Thanks VelvetGirl, i appreciate the response. I'm so sure he ripped off my design though, at least i've got people backing me up , thanks for the compliment on my designs aswell if you ever need any work done let me know Thanks to the rest who welcomed me!
thanks guys, can anyone tell me about these colours yet? i think the dark red means banned...not sure about the rest
Welcome.Enjoy your stay..........i think you should read the guide to reputation and all in suggestion forum
thanks guys, nice welcome here still no idea what these colours mean though, anyone at all got ideas? or should i risk getting infractions by asking a mod..
Hey Jack, It's always best to walk away from arguments on DP. Most of the people you're arguing with are jerks but you both end up looking bad. Some people give you a bad rep for no reason too which sucks because it reflects on your profile forever. 500+ posts in one month is some going! I hope it's more than spam!! Good luck, Cheers, p.
haha most of the post's are actual entries into the contests, and the rest of the posts are feedback for other entries! thanks for the welcome anyway
