Hi, Question to administration
« on: August 14, 2011, 12:58:00 PM »
Hello dear administrator. Yesterday I created an account here and made a couple of posts with my "NON COMMERCIAL" fan website in my signature. May I know why did that get me banned since your rules clearly say that this is absolutely normal and allowed?
Copied from your "Rules and Guidelines"
Quote
    Member signatures shall comply with the following guidelines (Member signatures not in compliance with the guidelines shall be removed without notice):
         
        Links or references to personal non-commercial web sites are allowed.
         
        Links or references to commercial web sites are not permitted.
         
        Signatures shall not contain political/religious statements, sexist/racist remarks, offensive statements.
        Signature graphics dimensions shall not be larger than 400 x 150 pixels and the file size shall not exceed 50 kB.
        Signature length shall not exceed 400 characters.

Member posts which are not in compliance with the above rules and guidelines shall be removed without prior notice.

Violation of the above rules and guidelines may result in disciplinary action, and if non-compliance persist then may ultimately lead to expulsion from the forum.

May I ask what got me a "permanent ban", without any explanation etc?
Thanks.

I only had a thread in here saying hello, and a reply on a thread about watches as well can not remember which one exacly.
I have not been advertising my website in any way like saying "go visit my website it is great etc.."  I just had it in my signature, it contains basic information for newbies like "how to choose a watch" etc. Nothing special really, and I am not selling anything, not promoting a shop or a brand.

this link clearly have links to commercial site..... and it is not a simple fan website, no contribution from fan after all.
