Yes, it’s easy to see now. I over thought the instruction. I should have taken it at face value. Don’t post. ---

I missed the warning too. > [@Banquet\_Bear](#): > > …yeah, I missed the explicit warning for aceplace57 not to return to the thread as well, and if I had seen it I wouldn’t have responded to ace’s post either. I guess that part is the little bit that bothers me. The warning I can live with but that other people who violated that warning (I did not read the entire thread) weren’t also called on the carpet is not so much my speed. ---

The warning I can live with but that other people who violated that warning (I did not read the entire thread) weren’t also called on the carpet is not so much my speed. The person who was warned didn’t claim he didn’t see it-he claimed that he saw it but that it meant something other than what it actually meant. ---

Does ‘do not return to this thread’ mean ‘do not read this thread again?’ Even if it does, somebody who simply read the thread without posting after being told “do not return to this thread” would still be guilty of violating a mod’s instructions, right?😕😕😕 ---

Over thinking is an indication of not being clear as to the mod’s instructions. There’s a lot to be said for PMing a mod when one is not clear as to the mod’s instructions. ---

> [@Kent\_Clark](#): > > Even if it does, somebody who simply read the thread without posting after being told “do not return to this thread” would still be guilty of violating a mod’s instructions, right?😕😕😕 Once again: It has _never_ meant that. This is the first time in the over twenty years I’ve participated on these boards that the possibility that the mods meant “do not look at this thread!” when they told someone not to return was even brought up, and I couldn’t even begin to figure out how the mods could enforce such an order. ---
