Unfortunately, I've only recently joined the penny arcade forums as I thought it may be an interesting place to be able to interact with others and provide conversation and advice.
So while my low post count may have come across to you as a spammer, I am most certainly not.
The post in question was made on a topic in regards to art, and suggestions for getting better at the general practice of art. The site I advised the original poster to check out is NOT a site I'm affiliated with in any way. It IS however an excellent source for artists who are attempting to improve their craft and could benefit from critiques from actual skilled artists. As I believed the O.P. would benefit from visiting the site and checking out what advice they could offer regarding his drawing skills, anatomy, etc in hope he would be able to use this knowledge to improve his artistic endeavours.
So seeing as the reply was made with the the intent to deliver adive to some one seeking it in a relevant thread, I'm not sure how it is being construed as spam.
Thank you for your time.
You basically said "Fuck this place and these guys, go here instead for your critiques." Hell, I think you even just said that again, suggesting PA doesn't have any "actual skilled artists."
What I said was, "I know of a place that has really good professional critiques, which I've benefited form as an artist, and you may as well check it out."
Being new to the boards, I'm quite certain I didn't think it would offend any one to suggest a source available for the purpose of learning and bettering ones self. I am now, unfortunately, quite painfully aware that it does offend people.
I must say, I'm completely put off by your inability to be friendly/courteous/professional to a new comer on the boards.
I'm certain you won't care, but I won't be back to the forums here. It's unfortunate that such a great comic strip is in any way represented, even simply in the form of a forum moderator, by someone like yourself. It's a disservice to the comic and the creators.
You should feel ashamed of acting so immaturely.

It isn't even an actual infraction, just a warning.
I've gotten infractions I've disagree with before, and I took the issue up with the mods via PM, but when it was clear they weren't going to change their mind, I dropped the matter because I knew it wasn't a big deal in the long run.
I am tempted to report this as awesome in order to preserve her immaturity.
If that's the kind of art you make after getting "professional, honest feedback, and tools, tricks and theories for making your art better" at monkeyslunch.com, then I would hand out an infraction for recommending going there for art critiques as well. Keep up the good work, Mars Elliot.
Hi! Your message looked like spam! It was treated as such! We have pretty clear rules about using the forums to promote other websites! I hope this has cleared up your problem!

All you've done is make yourself look immature and incapable of comprehending clearly-written rules.
Enjoy your self-righteous temper tantrum. We'll be better off without you.

The phrase "lurk moar" has never been so relevant.

I will not let such slander be said about my favorite power-hungry overlord!
Edit: Btw the background doesn't even make sense.
Edit: ... oh wait, I get it.
more like Rat Smellio
just kiddin' Mars, I love you
Not actually someone whining because a mod infracted them.
No, he didn't infract her. He gave her a warning.
