This question is directed at Karellen, as he's the moderator that has had interactions with me in the past... I'm just wondering where I stand with you/the forum?
I'm not posting this intending to cause any kind of issues/trouble, only to explain my thought process and why I may have came across as ignoring you/being a trouble maker.
As you know, I've posted a question regarding status icons and the Missing Movies addon and you asked for screenshots. At the time I couldn't get them (as it was a TV I was using) so found screenshots online and linked to those in place of the ones that I couldn't provide. I then later realized that the question was actually skin specific and suggested that I ask in the correct forum, which you seemed to agree with, going by the first line of the quote below.
I didn't know that they were taken using banned addons, as I literally just searched Google and used pictures that included the icons I was seeing. To be honest I didn't even consider that they could break the rules as I was focusing on the icons and not the screen around them.
The suggestion that I ask others for help also made me think that you were directing me to the skin-related forum. Considering how things have panned out, I assume that you're saying that they're the people who make the banned addons and I should ask them instead. I had no idea who they were... and still don't. I'm just assuming as I've never heard of them or their addons, just seen a couple of screenshots. As far as I was concerned, they may have been the skin authors.
Anyway, I asked in the skin-related forum and you responded as follows:
As I mentioned earlier, I though that I was being asked to post in the correct forum. My interpretation was that "We are unable to assist you." meant that the people visiting the original forum wouldn't necessarily know. You had explained earlier that you don't use the same skin so had forgotten what icons were in use, hence me thinking that I was expected to re-post the question.
This time around I had actually made sure to take my own screenshot. I still can't really get screenshots from the TV so It was taken using a laptop, but all the same, it was my own screenshot. I just wanted to point out that I wasn't just using the same images with bits cut out and intending to fool you. I was trying to do things the correct way and respect the rules by ensuring I wouldn't break them again.
With regards to figuring out the icons; probably not. I can draw my own conclusions about them and may be correct, but the behaviour of the addon that I was asking about seems to indicate I was wrong in what I thought so I wanted to confirm... Anyway, my intention is not to re-post the question here, so I'll stop there.
As I said, I just want to know where I stand. I honestly didn't intend to do anything wrong, and if I had access to the laptop the first time around (to be able to take my own screenshot) then wouldn't have done.
I realize that I'm not actually banned from the forums (as a whole) as I have been able to log in, but am not sure how to interpret what happened with my second post. It was closed with the words "You have been previously advised that you are ineligible for support" and I'm not sure if that was intended to mean that I shouldn't post the question regarding icons again or that I shouldn't post any more support requests at all... possibly even that I shouldn't make any more posts, even if they're not support requests.
I don't want to mis-interpret what you meant again, so wanted to ask before making any further posts.
I apologize for any mistakes I've made so far.

Quote:Yes you have posted in the wrong forum. We are unable to assist you.
I can see a number of banned repositories in your screenshot that you are specifically referring to.
I suggest you head over to Covenant or Merlin and ask them for assistance as we did not provide these items to you.

Seriously, is it that difficult to figure out the icons??
