Why Not Showing The Message On Pm Inbox Is Not A Good Idea

    The new DP setup no longer shows PM messages or new reply notifications directly on the inbox. The user has to click and visit DP to read the message. That's fine for most part. But today I got one of my post deleted for an apparent violation of rules. The mod I believe had posted in the thread and then closed/deleted it. Now, I got a message saying I have received an infraction, a new reply notification - but nowhere can I actually read the actual reason.

    Users may not always remember the rules and it's okay. It will be good if the message mods post or for that matter any one posts reaches the inbox instead of us having to read it back on DP.


    ETA : Sorry, by inbox, I meant my email inbox and not the DP inbox.

    You posted a traffic related thread outside the traffic category with a misleading title.

    The warning notification email contains the post it was about in it's entirety (at bottom of email).

    Hi Shawn & Shannon

    It was just a suggestion; no worries about that. Here is the email I received:

    As a member with close to 600 posts, I am entirely in the wrong here for not remembering the rules. But if I was a newbie, I think I would be caught up wondering what's wrong. The warnings list just contains a list of warnings received till date with no elaboration. The concerned thread was deleted and so I could not have received any info from there. And the email does not say I was being infractioned for picking the wrong sub-forum.
