Did you also happen to get banned as well? I don't think it is very common for you to get a notification if your "spam" thread were to get locked (nor do I even think it would even be very common for a thread to get locked in the first place because you post/bump it too much).

Do you happen to be related to _JCaferJr_, or whatever his main account is? He probably caused you and your thread to get attention because he was evading his ban by posting in the thread that was locked.

My PonZ username cant PM for 5 days??? and my Thread is locked for 5 days.

I know who he is, but not associated. He's like a ponzi nut.
I'm amazed that party A can get party B locked up. That could be used against as a weapon.

I don't think JCafeJr got your account banned, he probably just attracted attention to your thread. I really did not look at your thread very closely but I didn't see many/any bumps. As mentioned above a lot of newbie accounts with a lot of shit posts were posting in your thread so it is possible that BadBear looked into it and determined that they are likely alts of you in order to covertly bump your thread.

Out of curiosity, how do you know that your thread is locked for 5 days? I know there is a message at the top of your account when you are banned for a certain time period, however I was under the impression that when a thread is locked by a moderator it can only be unlocked by a moderator.

That just says that your account is banned for 5 days. It does not say anything about your thread being locked for that long. Unless you received some notification saying that your thread will be unlocked after a certain time then I would assume the thread will not unlock after your ban expires (although I may be wrong on this)

It also doesn't say which moderator did it.
It doesn't say why he/she did it.

I'm amazed! I've been on here for 2 years... and never had an issue... I never even knew we had dictators and tyrants who could do what ever they wanted... isn't our communtiy about: openess, transparency and democracy?

EDIT: Im not opposed to moderators...God we need them! But they should NOT be able to ban without an explanation or identification.

You were not told which moderator took such action to avoid the moderator from getting bombarded with PM's for making a correct action against someone. Also moderators cannot actually ban people, only administrators can.

You were given the general reason why you were banned: because of Spam. Generally speaking you are not going to be banned for one specific action or post, but rather will be banned because of activity that occurs over a period of time.
