Damn it man, this must really suck especially after you had just bumped your various services. Sad

PM me your email address and we can continue conversing there if I have anything else I need to ask you, or in particular any posting you might need to do for your business.

Technically that's ban evasion. Ban appeal thread is the only thing a banned user is allowed to do. No posts elsewhere and no PMs. Granted the latter would likely be enforced only if the recipient reported it and you probably wouldn't, but you're basically telling him to break the rules.

If someone is banned on the forum but they can continue posting by other people, what's the point of the ban? Isn’t this ban also something contradictory? Is it allowed to post by other people on behalf of the banned user?

There is no rule against it and it would be largely unenforceable if there was. Ultimately it's the user posting that stuff who's taking full responsibility. Perhaps some precautions (quoting/attribution) should be taken to avoid getting reported for plagiarism when posting text supplied by someone else. Not sure if there are any other issues with that.
