Old infraction question

[praveer]

Hello all,

Actually its a small story.

What happened was that I bumped a thread for a person. LT infracted me and reason given is spam. I read in rules later and it was written that bumping not allowed.

I understood my mistake.

But I bumped the thread after seeing Jason doing it in one thread. I sent many PMs to LT but got no reply.

Here are the proofs that Jason BUMPed the thread.



Reason for this thread : Want to request for my infraction to be removed as I dont find it nice seeing it in my profile

Unfortunately, Jason and Lifetalk are no longer staff (they re-signed), so we cannot revert their action unless you wish to PM them and explain to them why it should be reverted (then they can PM one of us to revert it). If you see a member of staff bumping a topic, you should report the post not follow what we do.

Your infraction is worth 1 point and expires on 14th December.

I know but I was not aware of the rule. Staff members are well versed with rules and I thought maybe its not against rules as a staff member did that.

And I did PMed to LT as I mentioned but no reply

It's in the rules that you can't bump so even if you saw someone else do it, you should have known that you couldn't. I understand that there are alot of rules and you can't remember all of them, but thats why we only infract instead of ban for small rule violations. Even if it were removed, it would still be there, but it would say 'reversed'.

An infraction is basically just a warning, and a way for staff to see what you've already been warned about - so if it happens again we know that you've already been made aware of the rule.

Infractions are really no biggie unless you keep doing the same thing. Only yourself and the mods see them. Unfortunately, seeing somebody else do something and doing the same usually comes back to bite you in the ass.

agreed but staff should get infraction just the same as members imo....but as hawk said next time report the post.

However I bet post would just be deleted and not given an infraction...if thats the case I think it should be a rule as well for staff.

[Mindy]

As Jesse stated, only the member and the mods see infractions. So you don't know if the ex-member of staff was infracted or not. We dont typically comment on them and we definitely don't delete them.

All of you guys are trying to say that we shouldn't follow other's mistake, should read the rules before posting and that infraction is not a big issue. But IMO, praveer is trying to say that why wasn't jason given an infraction for that? Staff are well versed with the rules but still they are committing such mistakes.

We all look forward to staff. If one staff member is stating the rules and other staff member is violating then don't you think that is ironic? I think the staff should be extra careful before posting or doing anything public because they are very influential to the members.

Lastly, i know its a very small issue and i shouldn't make a big deal out of this but if stuff like this happens it creates tension between the staff and the members and makes the community a little sad.

Agreed to exactly what Nitish said, I have felt that on other forum and once in KWWH too when mod locked my thread just because someone thought that I was scammer.

Sometime in here staff acts wired they are 100% of this forums, not to be mention that I have not felt that recently though.

You know what's gonna happen, praveer ?
This thread is gonna get closed. Nobody's gonna listen to you. You're just wasting time.
No matter how much you try to convince the present staff, nothing's gonna happen.
