Dear ftpaddict,

You have received an infraction at PentaxForums.com.

Reason: Marketplace Rule Violation: Inappropriate Reply/Conduct
-------
Among other things the forum rules state "Within each marketplace thread, users may ask questions about the item offered for sale, notify the seller of a PM or status change, or discuss technical details as well as shipping."

Please review all information in this thread: Important Information: Read Before Posting
-------

This infraction is worth 2 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire.

HA! Serves me right!

What the hell is a penalty point? And who is wlank???

I think you just got 2 points on your penalty scorecard for being offtopic in hinman's marketplace thread. I just got 2 this morning for not "obeying the rules".

Gotta love wlank.

Thanks for befriending the gummy bear and pretzel guy.
