So.. Who banned me?
Probably BadBear, however I would have done the same if I had such authority.
If what you say is true then you can lurk for 14 days, and read posts, but just don't contribute/post, and once your 14 days is up you can resume doing your own thing as long as you don't break the rules.
I would say that it is true that the expected post quality is higher for people that do not engage in paid signature advertising as there is not the obvious financial incentive to post when they do not have a paid signature.
edit:
you sir btw. are the opposite.. you post non stop, non stop, non stop, only joined a few months ago and are rewarded for it. i commend your contribution to problem mediation and you seem to know a shitload about the users but hey.. we all got issues :-)
To by honest, this is none of your business
