Clearing my name

[Gullara]

A little while ago I made a dumb mistake and unwittingly put some of the Giant's work in my signature. Is there anyway I can clear my name so I am not displayed as having and infraction or does this disappear after a certain amount of time having perfect behavior.

[Vaynor]

The Rules. Answers to your questions are all there. Also, this belongs in the Board/Site Issues Forum.

[The Neoclassic]

Also... We don't see your infractions. Only you do. (If that was your concern- my apologies if I misread.)

[Kallisti]

Most infractions are temporary. It'll go away after a short time. The PM you got from the mods telling you about the infraction should include the information about it.

That said, I wouldn't think quoting the Giant in your sig would earn an infraction. Did you, in some way, try to pass of his work as your own? Because if not, I'm not sure how that's against the rules (unless I just missed it).

[Sholos]

It might fall under the "no using artwork for anything" clause.

Darnit, here I was hoping for something good, something juicy. You know, running to the forums for the internet legal team because you killed a man, or ran over his house, and now you want to know what sort of legal tools you have at your disposal to get out of it.

I think Roland may have finally put the kibosh on that one...

[Solaris]

Eh, I wouldn't worry overmuch about an infraction. I had one, but it's off now that it's expired.

I have reason to believe neither of those is that illegal.

Ah !! Filthy traitor !!
We shall brand you with a iron mark on your forehead !!
And it shall make you sick whenever you try to hide it.
For this, and nothing less, is the price to mess with the Giant !!

Let's praise him, now, brothers and sisters, before we sacrifice the black sheep (rpgsr4me). Let's hope it will grant us a sign (or an update).

Two years for mine...and it'll be gone in a week. I think I'll kinda miss it. It's stuck with me through thick and thin. Still, my fault for getting sucked into a political debate. Still, I was a little pixie who didn't know better at the time.

[Pyrian]

I've never gotten one here. ...Which kind of surprises me, actually. I even managed to get one on TTLG, where flaming is basically considered a spectator sport.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Pfftt, I've managed to get three and they are STILL there even after expiration.

#1. Made a celebratory religious comment on Christmas day, my first week here, and got kicked.
#2. Forgot to change my animated avatar after they were outlawed.
#3. My signature was accidentally too long by a sentence.

I'm b-b-b-b-bad! Bad to the fur!

[xPANCAKEx]

ITT: playgrounders admit to silly behavior

mine? use of language - still got a year to tick off that one

[Mauve Shirt]

I have one for passing forum filters by posting a humorous picture with a curse word in it that expires in February, and one for making a comment that could be interpreted as hate speech but I meant it as a joke. Also an expired spam one from the organ harvesting epidemic.

[Inhuman Bot]

#3. My signature was accidentally too long by a sentence.

Mine was slightly longer then that, but I feel your pain there.

I think it was a typo, but according to that infraction's warning, mine'll expire in exactly -8 years.

[horngeek]

That's funny. The mods simply warned my when my sig was too long.

Maybe because I apologised and changed it very quickly.

[Kallisti]

You're lucky. I got off with a warning for my animated sig banner, but Roland deleted my entire sig. And then Arokh came after me for not crediting him in my sig, because I forgot to include the credit in my new sig...

[horngeek]

I am always extra-careful, though. So maybe that's it. In fact, I think that's the only time the mods have specifically come down on me.

Geeze, whats the matter with you, man?

[Kallisti]

You've caught me. It's all part of my diabolical plan to pretend I'm an amazing avatarist, then saddle literally tens of Playgrounders with crappy avatars they can easily replace.

I'm still working on the whole villain thing. It's not as easy as it looks. Stop judging me...

[Cobra_Ikari]

They do, and the mods are generally helpful about this. Wish I could clear my record, too...curse you, permanent warning! =P

So blood sacrifice is all it takes to get an update? Jeez, if I'd'a know it was that easy...

[Syka]

I'm actually kind of surprised I've never gotten an infraction. I've come close on politics and 'inappropriate' topics on occasion, but I guess I know where to toe the line unconsciously?

But yeah...I see no infraction so I'm guessing only you can see it.

[Thajocoth]

My infraction's s a 2-year one. I happened to reply to a thread inwhich everyone who posted there recieved an infraction. I've gotten warnings on the other messageboard I go to, up to a 24-hr ban once. As the board's only admin at the time, I couldn't actually be banned, but followed the spirit of the ban by not visiting my own messageboard. My board's way smaller though. I haven't given a warning in years...

[Xondoure]

I got one for editing "first" into a post on one of the comic updates. What annoys me is he deleted the entire post, instead of just scrubbing that one part...

[kpenguin]

I don't have any infractions. I mean, I've been warned, been sent harsh PMs, and had made threads closed, but no infractions that I can see.

[Jimorian]

From the Announcement above the OOTS subforum:

"Celebrating that you've made a post first (or second or whatever) or that your post is on the first (or second or whatever) page is not permitted. Doing so only creates the (false) impression that such things matter. They don't. What they do, is encourage hurried spam-like comments and a mad rush to post in the thread announcing a new comic. Posts containing such "shout outs" will be deleted in their entirety."

Bolding mine.

[Katana_Geldar]

I've only had one of my posts "moved" (I don't know where to) and given no reason.
