Post Here to Contact Site Administrators and Moderators

Hey everyone. I wasn't sure what it meant when my profile said it had 1 infraction against it, so I thought I'd check it out. Unfortunately, I can't find the post in question.

The date from the post in question is 07-09-2008 at 04:24 AM, but from what I can tell is marked as 'private'. I'd really like to know what it was that caused this, so I can make sure it doesn't happen again, as I wouldn't intentionally break posting rules.

If it helps, the reason is: Posting with the purpose of promoting another site.

Thanks in advance.

I can see the post, but it is disconnected from the thread and I don't know what thread it was. Your post says "maybe this will help you out" and then it seems to be a link to your blog entry describing cron.

Everyone who has a blog with an entry descibing some aspect of unix will drop by the site, find a thread that roughly matches the blog entry and then create a post like that. We tend to remove the posts and issue an infraction. We aren't trying to create a directory of blogs here. Please don't answer a question on your site and just post a link. Put the answer here. Our search function can find it and we don't need to keep checking the link to see if it valid. Most of the linked answers that we did allow in the early years are now dead links.

Ah, fair enough.

I appreciate your response.
