I still think 30 days ban is kinda harsh on me. I know I broke rule due to the complexity of rules but 7 or 14 days would been a more appropriate in my case. I have thread to maintain, since I can't reply to people's queries anymore on forum it's lose-lose for both me and forum members having genuine concerns.
You could consider updating your topic title from "Why am I banned?" to for instance "I think my ban is harsh: can it be reduced from 30 to 7 days?".Suggestion taken.
And I completely agree with your unquoted text.
Agree. 7-14 days would be enought. You are SR member with 53 earned merits and DT2? That should work as extenuating circumstances.
Yes, I am!
[...]There was no obligation to post in any other thread[...]
but wasn't it ?

Incentivizing posting in against the rules here ! See you next month
I think you don't know the meaning of 'obligation' and 'not mandatory'.
Earlier signature campaigns used to have the condition of posting in ANN but since theymos banned it, managers started adding line like this:
"we will appreciate participants to post in ANN"
There's nothing wrong with it unless you manipulating users to write biased posts. In my case, users were free to write whatever they deemed fit and most of them did post constructive criticism.
