All of this is a complete joke and I have just sent theymos a PM on the matter.
It is so ridiculous that I am not even going to comment on single responses.
Instead, I will say just this: Banning someone (60 days), who is actually doing good to the forum (unlike 95% of the users who just spam and shitpost), protecting users, being opiniated even when the mainstream does not like it... this is a big farce - especially when being banned because of so called "incentivizing posting" when this whole forum is basically based on incentivized posting (signature campaigns, bounties etc.). Let`s not forget that not a single post resulted out of my incentive...
The moderator has proven that he does a bad job when it comes to actual moderation - a new hobby might be advisable.

I issued the ban. People who incentivize posting in a thread in exchange for altcoins usually get suspended for 30 days. Since this is your 2nd time being banned (3rd time if we were to count the ban that was ended early; I don't but just adding in this info for completion's sake), the duration is doubled (as with most consecutive bans being issued). Posting the giveaway outside the altcoin sections doesn't indemnify you nor should it (IMO) reduce the punishment since you've simply violated yet another rule. From https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0:
1) Have been on Bitcointalk for over 2 years.
2) Conducted a substantial amount of business deals on Bitcointalk (based on your Trust feedback).
3) Extensively represent a business / commercial entity.
4) Violated several rules while representing said entity.
4.1) Posted a giveaway that's outside Games and Rounds (Bitcoin giveaways are restricted to Games and Rounds)
4.2) The giveaway is giving away altcoins in exchange for posting in your thread (violating one of the few zero-tolerance rules on the forum)
4.3) Posted altcoin content outside the altcoin sections
5) Have already been banned in the past for violating the forum's rules (not counting the ban that was ended early).
6) Have also been banned (though IIRC the ban was ended early) for participating in an on-forum altcoin giveaway (=4.2) that was posted in the main boards (=4.3) (meaning you should be aware of the rule's existence or at least gotten curious as to what the rule is).
Which leads me to a simple conclusion - there is no valid excuse for you to not know the forum's rules or where and how certain type of content should be posted before posting it.

2. No off-topic posts.

15. No on-forum altcoin giveaways.

I have/had no idea that something like I posted was against the rules, even less so in my own thread (I didn`t post it in giveaways section for that very reason, being USDT and no Bitcoin) - so what should have been done?!
While in certain cases leniency can be applied, you:1) Have been on Bitcointalk for over 2 years.
2) Conducted a substantial amount of business deals on Bitcointalk (based on your Trust feedback).
3) Extensively represent a business / commercial entity.
4) Violated several rules while representing said entity.

So if I wrote "send me an email" instead - which I usually do - that would be fine? I am getting the point but seriously, some sort of reviewing the individual case instead of generic action would make sense, no? Oh, there was not a single response to this post btw... lol
If you accepted entries to your giveaway (that doesn't have a requirement to post in one or more threads) via PM or via off-forum means (Google Forms, email, other external websites), yes, that'd be fine.You do realize that some of your arguments contradict? This is a complete joke, go ahead, instead of reducing the spam and fighting scam, you are wasting energy for something like this. I will reconsider my approach towards this forum at the same time.
You cannot offer incentives for users to make insubstantial posts in exchange for altcoins, aka host on-forum altcoin giveaways.

This is efialtis,
I just received an email about a post of mine having been deleted - after logging in, I see that I have received a 60 days ban for posting an exclusive offer in my very own BTCGOSU thread.
I have/had no idea that something like I posted was against the rules, even less so in my own thread (I didn`t post it in giveaways for that very reason).
Now tell me, how does this deserve a 60 days ban? 60 days? When this place (the forum) is all over shitposters, everywhere? This is unreal... unbelievable actually how honest members of this forum are f***** - congrats mods!

The forum is going to be quiet for a while 
See http://loyce.club/archive/topics/523/5234241.html, I recognize many of the usernames.
Who's creating a forum for exiles

Maybe we should give cryptotalk a try. NOT
Seriously, I wont participate in such a giveaway again, haha. You never know when you are breaking the rules!
Edit: Realizing now that we are in forced qarantine (this thread!), we are spamming here, lol...
PMd him, a very detailed & lengthy message highlighting the actual forum rules & mentioning all you guys who have been banned with your forum IDs (profile links).
Man - this feels like some "underground" activities going on, lol.
Just received msg that user "JSRAW" has also been banned and he d of course also like his ban to be "reconsidered". Together we are strong guys...
Maybe... Lets be serious guys, banning people for making a post in a giveaway-thread (giveaway coming from an established operator doing countless promos exclusively for btctalk members)?! Cant be justified no matter what... Guess its just me and my Greek nature of mind...

I just logged into my account and found I am banned too. This is very confusing and frustrating. We the established members do not post there to abuse the system but perhaps forget for a sec that it do break the forum rule.
May be revise the rule and if anyone post any altcoin giveaway then just delete the topic and pm them the reason of deleting the topic and forbid them not to post the same topic again.
Profile: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=366632
With others, it's clear that this is a mistake which was not meant to be made but it just happened. Hence, can I request a ban lift from my account too?
PS: Instead of creating a new account, I am requesting efialtis to post it on behalf of me. Please verify the blow singed message in case of any doubt.
Cheers,
Royse777

Spending countless hours in this forum, doing a lot for the community as well as trying to help whenever possible and then getting banned for 7 days for such a reason? Lol... Sweet! And all of that during corona qarantine time, lol.
Royse777 just contacted me via TG, banned, too...
Nb. Man that 360 seconds limit...

Just delete the fucking give away thread & thats all that needed to happen. I didnt even know it was against the rules. I dont participate in them, I only did to help bitcasino.io & create more interest.
Same here... Threads, that arent welcome, usually just get deleted and thats about it, no? Banning dozens of users, including us (dont mean we are any better but you know, its not like we are bounty hunters/spammers/shitposters...). Unbelievable!

I just logged in to see Ive been banned for 7 days for participating in a TRON altcoin competition. I only entered it to help the company in my sig, bitcasino.io
I had no idea that this was against the rules.
All you had to do was pick a number from 1-100 & maybe win 8000 TRON. I dont need the money, I only entered upon a request from somebody else.
Why not just delete the thread, a ban is too harsh imo. Can this be reversed?
There were loads of people posting in that thread. I hope Im not the only one who got banned.

Lol - I was just about to post exactly the same - let me use this one instead of creating a seperate thread mate? You were also the first one who came to my mind when thinking about who else must have been banned...
efialtis Ban Appeal
Well, I just saw I got a 7 day ban for "Participating in an on-forum altcoin giveaway ("Bitcasino.io" TRX giveaway). Ban duration: 7 days" - wtf? Since when are you getting banned when taking part in a giveaway? I didnt spam, pm or do anything else. In addition to me, several other established members posted in that thread - they all banned as well?!
That suxx big time... :/
