Like I said I'm not the one that dealt with the reports against you, however I'm assuming you were banned for the advertisement of your pools in other users threads, and not because you are posting about a scam project, but without seeing the deleted messages myself this is based on speculation of what has been said in this thread. It may have been deleted for other reasons such as multiple posts in a row (not combing your posts into one) or something else unrelated. If it was a on topic post it would not have been deleted unless it broke another rule. Your ban however it likely to due to the fact that you were advertising mining pools in other users thread (probably in multiple users threads, and not just a one off).

Yeah I looked it over again, and I did say positive things about my coin. In the course of explaining why Bitconnect users could possibly move their coins to a different blockchain, I advertised reasons why they could benefit from doing that with their Bitconnect. I didn't think it was advertising at the time, but I can see now that it could be defined that way even though I didn't offer to sell anything or accept any money or cryptocurrency for any exchange or service.

I don't have a mining pool of any kind, and I don't know why you think I do, but maybe the other moderator also mistakenly thought that I was advertising a mining pool. I apologize for not making myself more clear. And like you said, you can't see the screenshots of the deleted posts because of the Bitcointalk image proxy problem. I apologize for not having another way to share image links here, and I admit that the problem was exacerbated by my own personal failure to find another way to share images.

I also apologize if my single post in a thread appeared to be multiple posts when a moderator looked at it. If I used unorthodox spacing or paragraphs that made 1 post look like repeated spam, then that's my fault. And I apologize for engaging with a Bitconnect user in the Bitconnect topic, who said "I think it's great" in response to my post about Bitconnect. I should not have led that person into his own spam violations, and hopefully he does not continue to misuse Bitcointalk as I wrongfully did for the purpose of discussing possibilities for an altcoin in that altcoins's topic.

I realize that everyone else is promoting their own altcoins, and every topic can't be a spamfest for every altcoin. I should've stayed in my own topics, because like you said the OP doesn't want spam in his topic. Of course I also just had a post deleted here in my own topic, but that just means I'm automatically guilty like you said.

I haven't been here for a couple of years, and I thought I'd jump right back in like it used to be. I should've taken the time to ease back in and be a humble newbie for a while, until I learned the new rules. People used to be happy when I came to their thread and spent $5,000 on their coin that only had $24 a day volume, but I should have asked around and found out that it's no longer acceptable to talk about doing those things with a coin, in that coin's topic. Now I know, lesson learned.

I overreacted out of frustration, and I should've just let it go. I couldn't understand why my posts were deleted and I was banned, when apparently the entire thread was also deleted. But I can see that it's sometimes important to punish people and specifically delete their posts and ban them, even when the rest of the topic is deleted anyway. If a moderator spends that extra time deleting one user's posts before he deletes the rest of the posts too, then the user should take the hint.

I might be a little bit Asperger's, so sometimes I don't get it at first. I'm sorry. I get it now. I'm nobody, my posts are worth nothing to anyone. My entire existence here can be erased with the press of a button, and nobody will care or even notice. That's the reality of it. Since that is my place, and your place is to have the power to decide what I'm allowed to say, it was inappropriate for me to question your ruling even if you still don't know what was deleted or why. If you say the banning was justified, then it was justified.
