Jim,

I was awarded a point for the following post: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=21941744

In this post, I made "I" statements and while my post was sarcastic (being sarcastic isn't against site rules), I'm not sure how calling myself names is provocation.

So, while I don't agree with the point, I'll edit the post, however I'm unable to do so.
Can you please:
1- tell me if there a difference between a warned post and an infracted post?
2- tell me why I've lost my ability to edit,
3- (if required) restore my ability to edit a warned post?

Thank you.

Your ability to edit posts has been taken away.

And why is that?! You told me months ago everything was cool?

It looks like your ability to edit posts has been removed again.

Ok, can you please tell me why "it was removed again" and how I get it back? To my knowledge, it was never removed previously.

Since that incident (in which my ban was reversed by jbourke) back in feb, I've been a relatively good participant with only a couple warnings.

Also Jim, I'm curious if there are some other rules about warnings that are undefined on your rules page. To me, it reads clearly that infractions are forgiven:

"Infractions "age" and are removed from a user's infraction level after a period of time elapses."

So this implies to me that some of the mistakes I made earlier in the year should have been forgiven by now?

I'm not sure why it was removed. It looks like it was removed by a mod.

That is correct. You currently have no active warnings.

Thank you for the edit and have a great weekend!

Last questions:

Since it was removed by a mod, how can I avoid that happening in the future?

Since all my infraction points are removed/forgiven, what of my "history" could be used against me in the future? I don't see anything about that in the rules page, but I suspect there is an unwritten rule regarding users who receive repeated warnings?

Take care,

Gary

The best way is to not break any site rules but if a post does cross the line be sure to edit it as requested by the mod. This is something you are currently doing so I don't see any future issues.

Any user with multiple pages of warnings does raise a red flag but current posting history is what is most important. You should be fine if you stay within the rules. Thanks for the post.
