    Default Being penalized on the forums for following rules

    Hello everyone,

    I've been a lurker here for quite some time, coming and going through the years but not a real vocal poster...I'm a very poor skilled script writer, mostly limited to editing other peoples work to meet my needs..... regardless, after a while I've decided to start posting on this fantastic website...

    Now the problem seems to be that if i post more than once in any random forum I'm being penalized and receiving infractions from a certain moderator for posting too many times in one day..Not only are my posts productive and constructive to the topic but i'm thoroughly interested in the said topic.

    here is the example of the most recent infraction

    here is the link to the thread so you can see what I'm replying to

    my message to the mod
    Justin, I'm adding quality posts to threads that will lead to more stimulated conversation that follow, I'm not breaking any rules. There is no rule too adding conversation pieces to a topic. Just because you believe I'm trying to receive a rank, your singling me out over other less productive posts... There are tons of other posts that consist of one word or two word responses and add nothing but bandwidth filler to the site

    Again there is no rule to how many posts i can post in one day as long as im not adding useless crap to a thread. I'm not necroing a thread and it's all relevant information. Why have these other sub forums if adding to them is considered spam?
    Ill print screen this and start a new thread to see what others will say about this because at the moment i feel like your on me for no other good reason than to pick on me..
    Am i not following some unwritten rule here???

    It's just we've had some problems recently with a bunch of people spamming 30 useless posts to get access to the junior section. Why did you decide to start posting now?

    Well when i first Joined i was 18 years old and only interested in trying out the scripts, now at 26 years old i've noticed a certain level of maturity on this site and was interested in joining at another level....That being said, i went through a couple of the more recent threads in this particular sub-forum and have noticed anyone posting that many times is more than likely just trying to get to this rank (which i just recently learned gives you some kind of benefit?)

    I will only post once per day from now on until im over this sacred 30 post count from which point nobody longer cares if you post 600 times a day or not..

    Not true, I'll still infractions if you do post 600 times a day.

    I actually almost marked you as a spam bot as well.. but then I saw your join date..

    You don't have to "post once a day".. Just relax on making too many consecutive posts I guess?

    There were multiple times(even in a row) that you took less than 3 minutes to read an entire thread and post your 'construtive' and 'helpful' posts. There have been new users posting a lot more without a single infraction. Don't post to raise your post count. Just post when you think you have something to add.

    Even though Justin let this thread open. Discussion about infractions etc are not allowed in the open. PM another mod or admin if you can't agree with the one giving you the infraction.

    closed.
