I think if you looked at my posting history (of PonZ), you would probably scratch your head... and say.. "Why did this poor bastard get banned?"
As SaltySpitoon said, it is possible that some of the posts in your thread were from accounts that were controlled by you. Just because PonZ made "good" posts, does not mean that shit posts from newbie shills will be excused.
So there is no way to screen these shill posts with technology? I know I personally never made a shill post.
So an Admin can suspect shilling and just drop the ban hammer on a hunch? So our admins operate by the science of "feeling" ??
Edit: I am sure I could write a script that predicted within 95% accuracy what was a self-posted-shill and what wasn't. So If I can do why hasn't the forum???
