Infractions, lolwut?
So, just recently I got infracted for my advertising.Due to me breaking the rules, of which I did not.
The rules state the following if you're too lazy to read the whole thing.
- Short version
You may only promote your work once every 15 minutes, and they should be placed in the right section, no URL shortening or promoting other websites and/or contains inappropriate content.
Paragraph 6 of the Rules.
6: Promotion/Advertising Guidelines
You may promote things only once every 15 minutes. Posting more frequently will be considered spam. Posting links to your projects, texture packs, skins, etc. is ok, unless you have placed the download behind an advertising link such as (Ad link removed). The use of URL shortening services such as bit.ly or tinyurl are also not allowed. These will all be deleted. Promoting other websites is not allowed if that website contains inappropriate content outlined above or requires payment to access. Posting links to your server is only allowed in the Server Room. Posting server links in the main chat will earn you a warning and the server link will be deleted. If someone requests a link to something, use /msg. Anyone breaking these will be kicked or banned depending on the severity of the offense.

Paragraph 4 of the rules
4: No Spamming

Do not make posts which exceed 4 lines of text, anything longer takes up too much of the screen and is considered spam. Spamming will result in you being kicked or banned from chat.

I followed the rules, but still got the infraction
Nowhere does it say I'm not allowed to post more than one link per message while advertising myself.
So on that front you are a bit vague, you should consider revising the rules.
And in other notes, it wasn't eligible for infraction on too many lines, because they were just 3, and the limit is 4.
Bad kitties, no milk for you tonight.
Shame on you guys, infractioned when following the rules, oh the horror.

Have something to say?
Because nowhere in the rules before did it say anything about how many links per msg.
so what exact post did you make that got you the infraction?
Nothing more, nothing less, it was on 3 lines, so I didn't break that rule either.

i was sorta looking to see what context you posted it in...meh, oh well...still....
....sucks
But since it's allowed and I didn't technically break any existing rules, I'm a bit stumped.
