Why did I get these infractions? Am I not allowed to reply in my own thread??

http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=3441962#post3441962

I got THREE infractions for this thread. These are the only infractions I have ever got on DP, and I have been here for a little over a year (i think)

I apparently got the infractions THREE times (3 points) for BUMPING my thread. If you look at the thread I was just replying to the people that stumbled me and told them that I had to leave for a bit because I had to pick my son up at daycare. I had to write this because of the nature of the subject title "Stumble me and I'll stumble you faster" I wanted to let them know why they werent getting stumbled..

ALSO, I had also replied which stumbles I had replied to and such.

How is this considered bumping?? I wasnt even considering bumping that thread. It was a pretty pointless thread

Come on now, what is the deal here? I cant even reply to my own thread without getting an infraction???

 

I see 2 consecutive posts in the space of 1 minute, when you could have just as easily included the information in the first post only (by editing). That's a bump.

 

i have had the same thing happened to me seems if they dont want bumping they would let us edit our posts at any giving time

i sent a pm to one of the mods about it guess what the reply was

(no one cares move on) nice reply eh?

 

webster: thats exactly what I think! There is absolutely NO way to edit a post at any given time. Seems to me I think they should rethink their BUMPING infractions system.

CountryBoy: How could I if I am stumbling at different times??? How could I have posted that into my first message???

 

I say let it go before you get more

 

It's very easy to edit a post within the first 8 hours after it is posted - all you do is hit the 'Edit' button in the bottom right hand corner. If you require it edited after that you can request a mod does it. This is all explained in the FAQs. Don't worry about it Angela - your infractions will expire quicker than you think.

 

Okay, I suppose I was just confused because these were my first infractions

Okay someone just red repped me and commented "Please stop Crying" HAHAHAHAAH What am I not supposed to ask questions??? LOL.. Get over yourself.

 

3 infraction in a row....they will expired together then problem solved. Infraction are just warning before you get ban. It happens to most members at least when their not expecting it.

 

there actually is a hack for vBulletin that if someone try to make another post in the same thread it will get posted to there original post

 

I can't believe you just did it again in this thread!

 

CountryBoy: are you a mod here??? Seriously are you??? What is your problem??? If that was considered a bump then WTF was the thread above this one posted by you?? A FRIGGIN BUMP???

 

Just trying to be helpful - don't shoot the messenger! It's only a problem when you post one after the other. I'm sorry - I thought you'd appreciate the help having been here "a little over a year (I think)" and not having the skill to edit a post.

 

you were told about the edit button and still double post in this very thread. now you turn on a member that was being ever so helpful to you and from me, that gets you red rep too. enjoy it.
PS i'll sign the rep so you know who it's from
have a nice day

 

you ask me the whole topic is getting out of hand time for it to be closed

 

are you a mod? no then shhhhh

 

Can we please stop starting threads when we know what we were given the infraction for. Seems to me that it opens yourself for more infractions and bad rep.

Lets be honest with ourselves and quit blaming others when we do something wrong. We have some of the best mods here and they do a great job for all the members there are on here. JMO
