Question Not enough information...

I appreciate the fact that rules are for everyone and I screwed up by not putting a screen printout in code brackets...

However, I was a bit dismayed when I received the following and tried to reply to say "Thank you" for sending me the reminder. I could not reply and had no idea what the following is really trying to say or how to "fix it" -- since the code tags had already been inserted by the moderator...

This was only my 2nd question ever on the forums...

Dear RogerBaran,

This is a reminder from the moderators at Unix & Linux Forums.

Reason: 1st Reminder to Add Code Tags
-------

-------

This reminder is worth 2 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Please reread the forum rules if you have forgotten or neglected to read them. The forum rules are important for the entire community.
So my questions are:
  1. What does it mean that this reminder is worth 2 points?
  2. Under what conditions will it remain in effect?
  3. Under what conditions will it expire?
  4. What am I actually supposed to do about it if the situation was already corrected by the moderator?
  5. Why did my "banking" figure go from over 8k to -1100?
  6. All of this on a "first reminder"???

I looked at your post and made a judgement call -- you had only four posts under your belt and didn't use code tags, so I assumed you didn't know how. Our form-letter for that includes detailed instructions, so was the most straightforward way to show you.

On reviewing your posts though, you obviously already knew and just forgot. I'm not here to punish people for trivial errors; I'll reverse your infraction.

No threat was meant -- the points go away by themselves in a month, and it would take a vast number of them to mean anything. The standard form-letter is a little stark since it's usually ignored.

The 'bits' thing is a crude representation of a poster's productivity here. Posting replies in threads and things earns points, and you can 'spend' points on things like changing your username. People don't see how many bits you have.
