How long is the infraction for and does my post become live again after a certain period of time?

I'll make sure to stare at the clock before I post in the classifieds next time.

You didn't actually say that, did you?


Unreal.

I don't want to get an infraction for bumping a post early, ey?

[Kaos]

I just set myself a reminder when I post something over at arfcom for sale, I got an infraction my first time (which is why I suggested the rules at the top since no one reads rules until they get an infraction) and it hasn't happened since.

You should be able to edit your original post however as often as you want, because it doesn't bump the post, and doesnt change the post time.

So as long as it's just updating a current thread without bumping it you should be ok.

And as far as him saying that....there's so much more worse things being said on the forum (Have you seen the hitler's cake thread?) than that.

I think the problem here is just that the mods are too heavy handed

I don't mean any disrespect. I appreciate Danp for letting us post items for sale for free. I just honestly didn't think it would cause an infraction for bumping a few hours early. I know now and will wait until after my '72 hours'.

I never had an infraction before so I was upset. =(

Didn't want PAFOA to turn liberal.

If we don't enforce the rules, there's no point in having them.

The classifieds infractions are worth 1 point and expire after a week, it is literally almost impossible for them to result in a ban, think of them more as a slap on the hand.

It's really very simple: Follow the very clearly posted, heavily discussed, established rules, don't get infractions. 72 hours means 72 hours, not 71 hours. If it means 71 hours it might as well mean 61 hours which might as well mean no hours.

The standard is not "3 calendar days". It's 72 hours. Your bump was over 8 hours "early", earning the infraction. You weren't singled out, but you weren't given an exemption either.

My question goes back to a discussion awhile back that I am too lazy to look up. How do we know exactly when our post was made? If I made it 49 hours ago, the time will just read "2 days" and if I made it 71 hours ago, the time will read "2 days" So how the heck are we supposed to know when we posted something? We don't have a clue?

When it says "3 days ago" that means it's been at least 72 hours.

If you want you could also wait one minute and edit the post, then it would say the exact time the post was edited, or...you could just post the date/time in your thread.

Or just remember when you last posted. How many classifieds are people running at one time anyway? This was never meant to be a store-front, just a place to get rid of that old hunting rifle from a few years ago that you replaced.
