But yes i hope this bug is fixed soon.
This is a thread for posting and verification of bugs... not a place for your suggestions.
Section 4
b. Replies
Replies will be considered spam if they do not contribute to the discussion of the topic. This may include off topic posting or an excessive number of posts that contain nothing more than emoticons or small words such as ‘lol’. While it is appropriate to indicate something is amusing, drowning out a whole thread with such posts makes it hard to follow for all users.
Consequence:
A polite note from a moderator will be issued requesting the user cut down the amount of irrelevant posts. Repeat offenders will be given one warning point.
Sending in the report you did about that post was enough. Posting it was overkill, and completely offtopic yourself. Unless it becomes a lot of times that someone goes offtopic, please let us do our jobs...
1.) I don't see how my post can be considered "off-topic" when I politely pointed out that this thread was to point out bugs and not a place to post suggestions.
2.) It was not excessive spam since I only replied to his post once.
I followed up my post by mod alerting Nimras' post because it was off-topic. I did not think about mod alerting until after I made my post.
Nimras' post was originally in this thread...

As there is a duplicate thread about the same warning, I'm closing this one. Please message myself, or Jack, if that's a problem.

Well, apparently this is a different warning but regarding the same string of threads. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN SEE WHERE I MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN CONFUSED and forgive me. Thanks.

I would refer to my post in the other topic as well but MaxSterling has quite a record regarding warnings. I don't have his User Notes open so I can't see if he has previous warnings for spam or other things though.
The difference is that MaxSterling is not a Moderator and his post did not have any relevance to the topic, at all. He should have reported the post if he thought some Moderator action was required, not posted in the topic...

Still it does not constitute an official warning imo.
Split and dump the post and send a pm is what I would have done and what has been common practice regarding similar posts.
I'd hate to see forum users warned for every so little off-topic post they make as it would kill any conversation on this forum and make it solely a place for posting information.
It has always been my belief that spam should be warned for only and only if its extent makes the conversation impossible and did not stop despite a previous warning - be it personal or posted in the thread.

2-3 warning is "quite a record"?

If you bothered to pay attention, I did mod alert it... I just didn't think about it until after I made my post like I stated in my initial post.

Anyways, the issue is done with.
So no need to get into pointless discussions.

As Deni has stated, both warnings have been reduced to verbal; ergo issue closed.
