x - Trigger happy?

I don't mean to be petty about 1 point infraction but I do have pitty on how pathetic the infraction I received is. I was curious regarding his offer, yet I could not understand what it was. Would you bind yourself to an offer you have no idea of? No.

Ask yourself would a reasonable, not to mention, new forum member know what the thread creator is talking about in his post?
His post is not even organized in such a manner that someone with years of experience playing Runescape would understand through even its context.

The post:

"I got about 120m left, im looking for $2 each for high amounts $3 each for low amounts due to the fact paypal charges. My msn is [email protected]


Alson selling a 60 40 76 with 34 prayer, cb 62

Post here and add me on msn"

I understand that typically, new members of forums can get themselves a infraction or even ban within the first few posts as a result of their actions and not following rules but I am a active member of many forums (15+) on a day to day basis and this is quite unreasonable and unjustified.

Being here isn't so much a privilege - I don't have to be here, but rather, I wanted to be here.. This is Not a very good way to 'welcome' a new member. I am quite unhappy and would love to leave entirely.

Thanks,

I don't feel that deserved an infraction (rather, a warning since you ARE new) but that doesn't mean it wasn't warranted. Posting "I don't get you" isn't really contributing to a thread. I would've given you a warning.

Let's see what x^9 says.

 

No prior warnings... Not that much of spamming since it is a somewhat legitimate question...

Reversed.
