this topic is aimed at the administrators and moderators of this forum. dont you guys think that you could be a little bit more leanient when it comes to one liners.being a newbie to this forum i might have overlooked a few rules but you guys find some other way instead of raising the warn level.people make mistakes.

well if the one liner is like HI!!! or COOL!!! in topics its consider spam but like forums like freebe stuff 2 or 3 words is ok but if its a topic that like in deep discussion then it won't cut.


best thing to do is read the topic look at what other people post and comment on that, and then insert your opinion and you don't have to worry about one liners like this

"DUUUUDE"""

" i disagree"


im guilty of that one XP

You will not face any penalty until you reach 100% warning level. When you do (and I hope that you don't) you will be banned from this forum and your IP blocked. Which means you will never post anything on TRAP17, again.

The warning system is setup to alert you as a member to comply with TRAP17's posting rules. During any alteration to your warning level, there's no way you will ever feel disruptions to your hosting service or denial of any supports. Take your warning as a visual nudge from administrators and moderators.

Administrators and moderators will go around form time to time to review member's warning levels and when a member has been good (making quality posts and behaving oneself) for over 30 days, 10% warning is reduced and so on. The measurement you can take is make sure you KNOW the TOS and rules of this forum (can be found in my signature). Post contributing or supporting materials that can make this forum.

There are 2 administrators and 22 moderators. Administrators names are in red and moderators names are in blue color. For members who are hosting are in brown/maroon and those who are not in black color.

well i just woke up and said, y not look at my free apllication progress only to see that to my surprise my hosting was denied,can an administrator please tell me what i'm doing wrong and if the'res anything i can do to correct it,is it my warning level,please respond

[kwapster]

if the administrators would please care to follow my posts they would see that after being warned for the second time i have tried to conform to the rules as best as possible,i think i deserve to know why my request was denied.i'm getting really frustrated,please respond so i can be on my way to correct it.

[BuffaloHelp]

Upon reviewing your warning and its comment, you asked for registration code (which is against TOS) and that request might have been the deciding factor for accepting your application. But that may not be the exact answer since I am not the administrator who reviewed your application.

[kwapster]

but baffalo,thats really strange because i know i've seen peolpe here telling others where to get liscensing information for their product,am i the first ond only person who has done this i would have apologized but the topic was closed immediately,does this mean that my application was denied forever

[BuffaloHelp]

No, your application wasn't denied forever. You may sign up for another TRAP17 forum user name and try again. But this is not really encouraged.

What is encouraged is that you make a formal and sincere apology to administrators and explain that your previous action will never happen again. Wait few days, during which you will post excellent contributing posts, and reapply for hosting. If you decide to take this road, I'll be sure to keep my eyes on yours and bring down your warning level.

By the way, where have you seen requesting posts regarding obtaining a license illegally? I must have missed that one. I'll be sure to ban that member!

That would be a great start.

When writing a letter of apology, please make sure you are writing from your heart and with utmost sincere repent. Make sure that your letter contains your plans for the future behavior, i.e. I will never go against TOS and posting rules. And simply wait until administrators respond with their decision. Please be sure to address it to "Dear Administrators" and include the proper topic title and the description.

[kwapster]

hey buffalo, i'm just back online,i have submitted my apology,do you think that they will pardon me,and how do i know what step to take from here, will they reply.

[BuffaloHelp]

Now, you must practice the art of patience and keep posting quality posts to win administrators trust. Learn to be still...

what is going on here,wat did i do,who did i kill,after days it is frankly clear that the administrators have not read my apology,to me,it seems that they come on once every two days or so and then disappear back into the night,now dont get it twisted,thats really not the problem but when they do come on it seems that they only accept or denie hosting requests then log back off,who is supposed to read my apology the users,the moderators well they have but what about the administrators,i feel like reapplying for hosting but whats the use the administrator will just remember denieing my hosting and denie it again,it is really upseting to see other New users getting accepted matter of fact it is plain upsetting,We all make mistakes.Aren't we all humans,if it is the wish of this forum that i leave,there's no sense ignoring me just say the word and i will leave.

Thank You.
