People recently have been complaining about loss of minerals, and many of them have not been specifically fined by a moderator. The following can happen to your minerals:
ADDITION Function Abusive Bug
Effect: Minor
Statistically: 2-16 Minerals, 0-1 Post Count each.
Occurs: Often
What did I do?: When double-posting so that SEN auto-combines your post with the one above, you tend to lose minerals. You automatically lose 16 Minerals and 1 Post Count when your second post is deleted. The worth of your post (between 0 and 16 Minerals and 0 and 1 Post Count) is then added back on.
Posts Moved
Effect: None
Statistically: No penalty
Occurs: Seldom
What did I do?: This is a myth. There is no penalty when a topic is moved.
Posts Deleted
Effect: Moderate
Statistically: 16-256 Minerals, 1-16 Post Count each.
Occurs: Often
What did I do?: For every post of yours in a mineral forum a moderator or you delete, you lose 16 Minerals and 1 Post Count.
Posts Edited
Effect: Very Minor
Statistically: 0-16 Minerals, 0-1 Post Count each.
Occurs: Very Seldom
What did I do?: If a moderator (or you) edits you post, the value of the post is recalculated and can be amended.
Sent Minerals to Self
Effect: Moderate
Statistically: 1-5000 Minerals, 0 Post Count
Occurs: Very Seldom
What did I do?: Sending Minerals to yourself causes them to vanish.
Fined
Effect: Major
Statistically: 10-5000 Minerals, 5-250 Post Count
Occurs: Often
What did I do?: In punishment, a moderator can remove your posts and minerals, even sending you into negatives. This will appear in your warn logs.
