What does this mean, exactly? It's this like a three strikes system, or just friendly warning?

A warning is a friendly warning, but an infraction is closer to a stern talking to. I wouldn't call it a strike, but if you keep getting infracted it's a very clear sign that you're continuing to do something wrong, and that you may want to change your behavior before we decide to send you on a long vacation for it.

No posting threads asking people to tell you what something is worth.

ie: I have a Motherboard, model XXX what is it worth if I sell it?

Ah, ok. I have two more questions.

I found the definition for "nef" but what is "lifer?" I've searched, but can't find an explanation anywhere. I ask because I keep seeing those two words come up when I read to try to understand the rules. I've never encountered them before, despite having frequented many smaller forums over the past 10 years.

A "moderator call out" is a public complaint about a specific moderator and is against the rules, correct?

A lifer is someone with 10000 through 49999 posts. It is a forum user rank, similar to you being marked as a junior member.

To the best of my knowledge, a moderator call out is a public complaint against a single named moderator or a group of named or unnamed moderators or all the moderators collectively, and is one of the most heavily enforced rules around here.

Hello.

My post was removed for 'Spamming advert' and I can't even reply.
Are you kidding?

Why other projects are allowed then?

And a lot others. I've checked before posting if there are other similar posts, made a good-looking article and got infracted. Thanks a lot.

Hi Anti;

As explained in your infraction, you were infracted for promoting your game. Our rule isn't against discussing Kickstarter campaigns; our rule is against developers coming here and promoting their own projects. Furthermore you posted the same thing in several other forums, which makes your post even spammier.

-Thanks
ViRGE

Read the rules and I look forward to contributing and engaging

Hello,

I know this is a weird question, but is there anyway to delete a post that you wrote yourself?

Thanks

Generally speaking, no, there is not.
