Wait, I've gotten a few verbal warnings about short posts and off topicness.
So are those ones just like "Please try not too" or are those the first strike?
Are we allowed to occasionally use a *bump* to help put our threads towards the top? I'm mean in like cases where we like 20 posts down, but you still want the topic to be seen.

The ones we send through PM's are usually just verbal warnings. If it says, "You have been issued a yellow card for..." That's when you know you've got a card.

Yes. You are allowed to bump threads if you have a valid reason, such as:
Requiring an answer to a problem, but your thread has become buried with no answer.
Adding important information to a thread after a good length of time.
If you accidentally post in the wrong area, just report your post by clicking the blue card in the top-right corner of it. Moderators will move it to the appropriate location - and you won't be punished if it was just an accident.

Do not quote the poster above you and try not to quote someone who has quoted someone else. This drastically lengthens the topic and gives the reader much more content to scroll through including text they've already read. Furthermore, please don't quote someone just to quote them without leaving a comment. This would be considered an unnecessary post.
What if we try to keep our quotes small or break the quotes into multiple sections so the poster knows exactly what part of a post I'm responding to?
No. If you bypass your ban by making a new account, you'll be IP banned, stopping you from making further accounts. On the other hand, if you stay banned like you're supposed to, we may consider unbanning you in the future.
