Forum Rules & Guidelines

Hey, I’m curious about something—I’ve been told I have about 45 points, but honestly, I have no clue where they came from or what they actually signify. Like, what’s the cap on these things? And if I somehow end up with way too many, is there any way to clear them out?

Also, who’s actually in charge of managing this stuff?

I tried digging through the forum rules, but maybe my eyes are just failing me because I couldn't find anything.

Thanks.

Hm, you can check them on your own profile or under the settings menu. Mods hand out points 🤣 at their own discretion for any rule violations on the forum.

A 100-point score triggers a three-day ban, I believe... and so on. The higher the points, the heavier the restrictions apply.

Oh, awesome.. ☕
Wait, are those points permanent..? They can't be... I mean, who actually...

Look, it literally tells you how many points you have left. Besides that, you’re only five points away from a three-day ban. 😁
And just so we're clear, you can't even afford a single warning for typing in all caps right now... 😂

Wait, I just realized what happened!!!
It’s totally unfair!!
I got docked 50 points because apparently my images were too huge—it says they aren't supposed to be bigger than a palm. But honestly? I never posted anything larger than a palm!!
And another thing—if I had actually been given a heads-up, I would have scrubbed all those silly photos immediately!

Rules:
- Just keep the images small enough to fit in the palm of your hand—let's not get bogged down in specific dimensions 😉

I just want to point out that I was slapped with a 50-point penalty for posting oversized images... this is unheard of. I haven't ever posted anything larger than that before—I've been sharing photos here for a year now, and suddenly I'm getting hit with points?? It’s totally unfair!!
It isn't fair!
Some people are posting massive images and I'm the one actually trying to give them a heads-up, yet somehow I'm the one getting these ridiculous penalties!! It's just wrong!

I share these photos to help everyone out, and this is the thanks I get????

Such an injustice...

So, you can either toss me another 5 points for repeating myself, or be decent human beings and strip away those unfairly given 50 points!

this is so unfair!!
I got slapped with 50 points for uploading images that were "too big," even though the rules say they shouldn't be larger than a palm. I swear I never posted anything bigger than a palm!!
and another thing—if someone had actually warned me, I would've scrubbed all those stupid pictures immediately!

Look, if it’s clearly written in the rulebook and you decide to ignore it, they don't owe you a heads-up.
Honestly, just sit tight and wait for that penalty to expire. Can you hold out until the 2.5% update? 🙂

I should probably mention that I have massive hands 🤣 🤣

Good grief 🤣

I mean—just wait until that strike expires. Surely you can hold it together until the 2.5th? 🙂

It’s not like I ignored anything—far from it. I’ve actually been the one warning others to resize their images and stack them better so they don't hog all the space—and then somehow *I'm* the one getting penalized for no reason!!
It isn't about the specific date; it's about the principle here.
I am honestly so sick of people taking their frustrations out on me for my entire damn life. Why am I being called an idiot?

I just want things to be fair.

You know what they say about guys with big hands..?

They can deliver a hell of a slap! 😍

Fine, I'll pass that along to a guy I know 🤣

hmm... sorry, but as soon as I read a post that actually shows some intelligence, I just assume it wasn't written by a woman.. 🙈

😳

enivejz, you can complain in the thread above, but I doubt it’ll lead anywhere 😕 since you and everyone else here stick to their principles, even when they're right.. 😁

Get used to the idea that your profile is stuck with those badges forever, even after they expire

some points never actually expire🤣 just like yours, the 6 you have🙂

Man, this is just straight-up nonsense... how am I even supposed to appeal an injustice like this? Like, what's the point—do they just strip away the points I earned unfairly? I bet even the person who graded me has a supervisor breathing down their neck. I want them held accountable!
I've actually got the proof to show it wasn't fair.

It’s up there. Stan sent over a link to the thread for that earlier.

I have absolutely no clue what kind of points you guys are even talking about! 😵 😵

You know how it is 😉

honestly, I have no clue
