Yeah that's true.

I'm not sure about that. But making good choices is def important. Also in real life as well. I've figured that out big time. 

Congrats on your limited status Dario! I wish I gave you more downvotes before you left. I'll missing seeing the pretty red squares.

Thank you. 🥳 i'm really happy with my limited status. Nobody can downvote me anymore. And SeekingUnderstanding has been so thoughtfull for me to upvote all the posts where Raingirl had downvoted me to get rid of all the red color. He was just on time. A few hours later i received the limited status and from that moment it was not possible anymore to upvote me. Everything is going my way. 😇

I do too, lol.  Not all the time as I keep hoping I will train google to recognize the longer version to speed my searches up, but it never does unless I just visited the website.   On the other hand, I type in con and consumerlab pops up instantly.  Can’t figure out why it is so picky with the Church’s address. 

Well heck them BYU computer students still gotta have something to tweak daily, I think. 😜

I mean you wouldn't want to interfere with their mistakes, so they could learn how to fix up what they messed up last week- would you? 🙃

Something I did, when wanting to bring something up but not being able to start new topics was to search various topics to see if it's similar to what I wanted to start a topic on and do it there. Maybe that wasn't something MODS liked though, I don't know. But if that helps you, hopefully it's fine to do. Often it brought up older topics that others might not have seen and kept it from going into oblivion.

I don’t see it as a problem as long as the addition is close to the original topic.  I don’t remember mods ever expressing a problem with it.
 

Dario can also use one of his own threads to add on too.

And now that you're on "limited", you only have maybe 14 posts to reply on topics a day, so keep it in mind. I think or it may have changed or I'm not remembering. It was very frustrating each time I'd used up the posts when I really needed to say something. I had wished I hadn't been careless with my posting. Sometimes, I'd resorted to editing my posts and telling whomever I was conversing with to look at my edits, pretty sneaky huh. But probably not good.

Yeah but you know... i allready can tell that 14 posts per day is more then enough for me. 😌 So that's not a problem clearly. I'm mostly relieved that i can't receive downvotes anymore (from the same individual).

But did you posted so much in the old days then?

That's pretty darn smart Tacenda. 😉 This can be a really good idea for me in case i have maybe a busy day on the board for ones and i have used all my 14 posts. Then i can do the same as what you did when you where on Limited, and edit my posts in pieces so that i can converse longer with somebody. I'm sure the person would understand.

I guess I do post a lot sometimes and I did start a lot of topics in the past, not so much anymore. I recently got suspended for only a couple of days for being political. I appreciate these little punishments so that I don't break rules or try not to again.

Well... these days many people don't post at all so i think it's a really positive thing that you post a lot. 🩵

Seriously? That's ridicelous. You always behave like an angel on the board. How is it possible that you get suspended. 🫂 I have been suspended a couple of times in the past. But that was just because of my behavoir. 🤷‍♀️

I find that a warning would have been enough in my opinion dear Tacenda. And besides... i saw more people talking about politics recently.

I understood why you did the things you talked about above.  It seemed like you were trying and you were on limited for so long.  You also have been very good about admitting when you have done wrong and you didn't argue, but learned from it. 

However, I would see it differently considering Dario asked to be on limited if he were to try to get around the limits he asked for.

I know, maybe if he doesn't like it, he could change it one day. I was fortunate to get off limited, but need to not get back to my old ways too. Thanks Rain!

Uhm.. how so? The outcome is the same. But i'm happy to be on Limited, if that is what you mean....
