3 strikes rule? whats that?

[Ooey]

Okay I have another question... so we are not allowed to post links to other mom-targeting boards? Well what about when they have a resource that someone could really benifit from? Like someone asking about UC/homebirth stuff, I like to link them to Mothering's UC and homebirth forums... Or a carseat question... I can't link them to babycenter's carseat board? Or TBW for baby carriers and so on and so on...

three strikes as in, they ask you to do something and you refuse? or you accidentally make a mistake three times and your outta here?

I seriously don't think my asperger's could take knowing that I could get kicked off without notice. I know there was one time in the last few months where I posted something I wasn't supposed too (and didn't realize I wasn't supposed too until It was removed and I was pm'ed) does THAT kind of thing count?

can i say on the letters i offered way more then once to post a thread on what they mean? to clear up the confusion? i said to lee more then once, heck more then three times we will say what it means.

I just want to know WHY? Period. Why can't we use crazy acronyms? Why can't we link to other mama boards? Why? Why? Why?

What are these rules trying to avoid/meant to accomplish?

Unfortunately yes... but apparently they give you warnings for the first 2 offenses. So if you get two you better

because these are all things that have caused trouble in the past and somebody upstairs thinks by making these rules very specific, it will prevent/stop the drama.
