Are you actually saying that you would ban people on the word of the original Bitconnect devs? Please confirm.
Isn't there a feature called "self-moderated thread" if the OP doesn't want people to have any freedom in their topic?
If the OP didn't choose self-moderation, why would he have any more authority than me over what people are allowed to say in the topic?
1. We ban on according to forum policy. Plus, considering it was a temp ban you were banned by either a admin or global moderator which are far more experienced than myself.
2. There is a option for self moderation, however I wouldn't describe that as the OP not wanting users to have freedom.
3. He doesn't have any authority, and I'm not saying that the particular thread you posted in reported your post. I'm stating that this advertisement spam in other users threads is not only disallowed by the forum guidelines, but also is not appreciated by many of the altcoin announcement thread owners.
