Adventure bikes on Trade Me

[Night Falcon]

I got an infraction notice and have had 2 points allocated for the imbedded image.

What gives, I have no idea what this is about?

Cheers

Yep. It's one of the criteria. You have to supply proof of the infraction though.
Bruises/doctors report etc...

But what about the points?

Are they like Flybuys?

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

I have been advised it was because I did not delete a photo when I replied using "quote/reply".

Lesson learned....... Sorry.

Already on ADVrider but like to keep an eye on the locals.

Still wondering about the points

Your fault, you owe me 2 points

Did you buy it....?

Don't worry about 2 points. They expire in a month and don't penalise you in any way. They are simply a way of reminding you to keep within the rules.

Now if you were to pick up 60 points then you may see what a pink screen looks like.

Is there an easy way for you guys to do computor stuff so that when quoting a post the pic gets deleted? nothing worse on adv rider when someone quotes a whole ride report to say "great writeup" IS there also a magic way of kb automatically resizing any pics when posting so there wouldn't be any probs?

[Crim]

or even worse - quotes whole ride report and says "great rr, don't ride faster than your angel can fly" - I have, on occasion, dry wretched reading some replies to great rrs

solution when reading Ride Reports in ADVrider (thanks to Coonyr for this gem) open in firefox and tick the "only see xxxxx's posts?" box - if there is a question or thread instigated within the ride report that you want to read all replies untick said box and voila!

I WISH there was. Unfortunately that option just doesn't yet exist.

Still thinkin about it

I had 2 points once dunno where they went though, one minute they were there....nek minute.....gone

When an image is posted in order to save writing (a picture equals a thousand words and all that) then quoting it for context should not be an infraction. If its recent its gonna be cached locally anyway so any complaints or justification of the rule based on re-transmission delays is utter bollocks.

Quoting the entire text of a post is however a violation of netiquette; dunno the rules here about it, can't be bothered looking, it happens a lot but I've never seen it jumped on... it should be.

As for quoting an entire long post with multiple embedded images... well that's just plain rude. Same caching rules apply, but it's a pain to scroll past and completely unnecessary because it adds no value.

Bugger the rules, just plain common sense really. Sorry, I guess that's out of place on kiddiebiker, innit?

If you can afford it, want it, like it....buy it. You always wonder if you don't

You seem to be able to sell em ok if you don't like it.

Cheers

[That looks like fun]

Infraction for quoting imbedded photos
Yep I got one of those too
By way of explanation I was directed to a thread where some tosser was moaning about this as it used up bandwidth blaa blaa blaa
Then he had a whole lot of meaningless repetitive drivel under every post he made which filled up half a page
To all and sundry what bitch an moan in their attempts to make the world a better place
If your gonna stand on a soap box and beat ya drum, make sure you do it on level ground
