Welcome to all the new folks. Please note if you need help in the first post of this thread (page 1) there are some links to help you, food and drinks by the door, happy posting.
CaptainJack I have looked at the thread you are referring to, it was an honest "new person" mistake and it happens from time to time, as long as it doesn't become a habit then no harm no foul. We do give new members a chance to get use to the way things works, but there are times when people will give you a heads up on things to help new folks out, it seems to me that the person who said that most likely trying to be helpful but should have added a bit more as to why but didn't.
Generally everyone will tell you the ones you would have to worry about would be either myself,
TallyHo or the admin (of the forum) when it comes to giving warnings (official or unofficial) while other moderators may give you helpful advice (like
DaWacko has above) in the end it would be up to us on how its handled.
I doubt anyone is mad at you and we do recognize mistakes and as i have said as long as it doesn't become a habit, then that is all it is, we all make them at some point, as long as we learn from them is what matters.
Hopefully this has been helpful to you, and anyone else who might run into this problem in this forum. But please keep in mind what we might let slip here may or may not be let by in other forums, we all have different (but similar) ways of dealing with different things.
