That's one of the lamest excuses I've read yet in one of these ban appeal threads--and you're not the only person on this forum with a family, by the way.  Maybe you can read the rules to your kids at night as some sort of bedtime story, which I'm sure will come in handy for them later in life.  Probably not much later is my guess, though.

Do these giveaway threads get nuked on the spot or what?  I can't say I've seen one in quite a while, since I have all of the altcoin sections blocked, but it's no wonder people are confused about why they're getting banned.  If you didn't specifically know bitcointalk doesn't allow such threads, you might think they're acceptable here, just by their continued presence.  Do those giveaway thread-starters get permabanned?  Seems to me that the folks who initiate them ought to suffer more severe consequences than people just looking for a freebie.
