Infraction?

woppy71 · Post by **woppy71** » Tue Mar 02, 2010 5:21 pm

I have come back to visit the garden after a long time away, with a view to becoming a paid member again, only to discover I have been givien an infraction? would it be possible to given exact details of what I Have done, so that I can change things?

Is it not dated, woppy? Has it not expired?

OK, I realise what it may have been (self promotion)... it was iasn't intended to be and i hadn't realised that was what i was doing, and surely a two point infraction is a bit steep, why not a PM asking me to remove what ever it was, I would have complied, no worries.

Seems a bit harsh, I'm shocked, to be honest, I dont think I'll bother with the paid membership now

You don't CHANGE things Wopster, you COLLECT them.

They're like those jingly charms on a charm bracelet.

I have 73! :sneaky:

I dunno, I have never, ever been infracted on any forum before... I'm just a bit taken aback.

I was comming back for a little friendship and the sort, as i'm feeling a bit down and saw the infraction.

Hmmmm

Hmmmm

I myself hard as it may be to believe have been infracted. Actually I asked for the infraction because I was afraid of being labeled as too "fluffy".

Youre not to be fooled with. Daddys in the house and people had better watch out.

Good to see ya.

Hmmmmm.... I have paid for a six month subscription, but I dont seem to have been given my Paid member status or features yet.... does an infraction stop a subscription from working?

Not too sure how long it takes woppy, it may be because of the time difference. TS will be asleep now.

Welcome back :-6

Welcome back Woppy ! I think most people on FG have had an infraction at some time or another. Yours will expire soon, so it will be back to a clean sheet. Would love to see you posting more often now you are back, a lot of people have missed you here !

infractions have nothing to do with it, it should have shown up immediately.

re-check your subscription just to make sure paypal received your payment.

It's a manual operation in response to a Paypal-generated email. It's still only 6am over there. Abbey did mention this earlier.

Why the rush and pressure anyway?

anyone can check their paypal account just like a bank account.

It's always showed on mine.

and did he not ask if it had to do with his infraction?

geez just helping a friend Spot!:rolleyes:

I'm continually amazed at your ability to miss the point, Odie. I've no idea how you manage it so consistently.

Its really not that hard. Once the glazed over look in the eyes appears its all downhill.

Welcome back Woppy I hope you don't get infracted away from FG again.

Sorry but I missed the point as well. Instead of just saying hello and that I'm back, I'm not sure why the OP decided to tell everyone about the infraction. IMO, this should have been addressed in a private message to Admin or Moderators that could have explained it to him. So, if someone could explain the point of this thread, I would very much appreciate it.

BTW, welcome back Woppy and look forward to having you here posting with us. :-6

Would you folks mind just missing one point at a time for those of us following along from the sidelines?:p

Multiple points is totally pointless in a place that lets you create a thread for each point in and of its-self.

Just making the point.:sneaky:

HI WOPPY!!:-4

The crime's one of perception misperceived in this particular instance, there's absolutely no commercial interest involved, but even if there were it's an appalling misjudgement to infract woppy of all people after so long an absence. The infractions were very unfortunate given woppy's long standing both as a member and one-time moderator on ForumGarden. I hope consideration's being given to revoking them, apologizing and holding a week-long celebration instead.

AussiePam · Post by **AussiePam** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 12:59 pm

Very nice to see you back, Woppy.

I reckon you've shown amazing grace and superior patience, finer feeling and heroic moral fortitude. An example to all of us, in fact.

You might however wish to take issue with the Prodigal Son image. That is of course unless you did spend your time away wallowing in debauchery, you wastrel !! (We want details!!!)

A lesser person would have returned, seen the infraction, had a meltdown, written a scathing monologue in elegiac form, flounced out again and slammed the door.

.. rhymes for infraction...

subtraction, satisfaction,

... rhymes for point ????

anoint, smoke a joint...
