Guest Peeves Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 I can answer this one myself - I have seen moderators make comments on the quality of posts (not yours). So, they too were awarded points forPlease review the forum rules. To start a thread discussion, you can not just post a link and a quote. You must provide your own original thoughts or commentary to start a thread. Given 1 points. You must put more effort into starting a discussion. A few provocative sentences is not good enough. This is the second time that you are warned about this. Given 1 points. Seems rather picayune. Maybe a friendly caution would serve the point and point out your point in a pointed manner? Hope this is on point and simply not ruled as just a few provocative sentences with the awarding of yet another point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peeves Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 The internet. It's serious business. You quoting anyone in particular? Sounds like something Al Gore or Jimmy Carter might have coined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why you're making an issue out of it. They simply messaged you to let you know the forum rules. At least you were suspended.

They simply messaged you to let you know the forum rules. At least you were suspended. I've been suspended before on sites and I have also left of my own volition. I'm not making an issue of it at all. It's of no matter beyond my seeing 'violations' all the time. BTW, I personally don't want someone warned for such minor offenses. I'm not advocating that at all. To me if the post is not up to par it will self destruct for lack of interest. Big brother is hardly needed except for abuse. This determination that a thread is unworthy of existence on a subjective determination by an official is rather jejune IMHO. perhaps even arcane as it is subjective. Still it's of little matter in the real world. I simply enjoy the repartee.but seldom see clever retorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewTeddy Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Are the mods saying they'd rather a thread go off topic? I frequently start posts with quotes and links to other topics. Do they wish me to stop? Quote Feel free to contact me outside the forums. Add "TheNewTeddy" to Twitter, Facebook, or Hotmail to reach me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
