I usually delete all my old bumps, and I am not making consecutive posts in short time span or in the same day.
What do you think must have happened. You are a very good user of the forum and also an established member. You know all the rules and I don't think you were posting consecutively. In the other hand the mod also knows what is consecutive posts. If there is any modification of rule 32, I will like to know.
I know that when you post consecutively, it is against the rule, but when you post independently and follow up with another post quoting someone, it might not be considered as consecutive posting. I don't know if I am wrong, and I don't remember reading this from anywhere, but I have it in my head.
