Jefflaw77 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Can a MOD help me.. I have a 5 post limit... I've apparently had it for several days now.. Why I have this restriction is beyond me.. What I said or did, to create this problem is also a mystery.. I never received notification or a warning that my posts were going to be limited.. What I did gather was that after "Storm Mode" was over, my restriction of 5 posts a day would normally be lifted.. However, that hasn't happened.. Again, i've tried to reach out to the ADMIN, but I haven't gotten a response from anyone.. I've been posting on weather boards since 1995.. Wright Weather, Eastern (for years) and now here...I've never had this sort of problem.. I really don't know what on earth I did.. Some sort of warning, and/or explanation would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I was 5 posted a couple of weeks ago. I finally got off it 2 weeks ago. People normally get 5 posted because of their posing habits. I got 5 posted because I never put thought into anything that I said when I posted. Since then, I explain everything that I post. Maybe that is an issue with you. If you want to get off this, just make better posts. Also pm'ing a mod or admin is not going to help your issue. It didn't help me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, but wouldn't a warning be prudent? So your saying there is no help whatsoever?? Come on... This makes no sense whatsoever.. I'd really like to know what i said to TRIGGER this restriction, then I'd be in a better position to NOT let it occur again.. With no guidance, from Mod's or whoever, then how is one suppose to prevent the issue from happening again.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pm'ed a lot of them but none of them answered me back. I just waited until someone to take me off it. I think one warning that you know that you will be 5 posted is if your posts keep getting delete over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rygar Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 also, during major events the board is in what, storm mode or something, zero tolerance (or very close) policy during those times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefflaw77 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 what is "zero tolerance" mean? Why doesn't a MOD or someone who have some authority address this concern of mine.. To just arbitrarily restrict one's access to something w/o giving them a warning or explanation makes no sense.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow_Miser Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I feel your pain. I got 5 posted with no explaination either. I really hate how they do that. You will not improve at all if they just shut the door on you leaving you out in the bitter cold. I also notice that the 5 post people are from the NYC/Philly area of the forum...

Jefflaw77 Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 When is a MOD or some who authority going to jump in and explain the situation here?? I've never been part of an organization where nobody is there to assist? How on earth do you get into contact with someone with authority here?? Seriously, i am really surprised here.. This NEVER happened on Eastern! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I also notice that the 5 post people are from the NYC/Philly area of the forum... A lot of them are from our subforum. I think the staff members want all of us to be quality posters, instead of homers. oh really? LOL at the nogaps. Stop stalking me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afvet89 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Try to relax over this issue. The whole thing of how and why mods ban members is extremely subjective, selective and imho, frequently an abuse of power . There is nothing that can be done about it. The power lies with the mods. I suggest you try to watch what you post or they will ban you even worse. I feel your frustration tho man, been 5 posted myself for , imo, no reason. There have been many ppl banned ,just from reading other posts like yours expressing their own frustration. It is what it is, you just gotta deal with it. It really is a shame tho but try not to let it get to ya so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jeff Same thing happened to me....I PMed 4 mods and neither could find out who/why (One never responded). And it wasn't during a storm mode so I think it should have come with warning and notification -- right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
