Bitcoin Forum

Hello,

This morning my account was banned just after I posted a question about my ranking in the meta-subforum. I just understood that when you reach 120 posts, you go from member to full member. Since that didn't happen, I posted my question and after that my question was removed & I got banned.

What did I do wrong?

I didn't copy and paste, did not curse or troll...

My profile = https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1125516 - CryptoFoolio.

Thanks in advance.

You were spamming referral links in posts which isn't allowed. It wasn't anything to do with the post that you made in meta, unless you included the referral link in that too. Nearly all the posts on that account from the 29th of October has a referral link in the post, your lucky you wasn't banned sooner. Referral links are only allowed in your signature.

Ok. I am going to sound stupid but I did not know that, since I have seen everybody posting links in their posts... It did not occur to me that it would only be allowed within the signature.

So am I banned forever or as a warning for a certain period?

I know now that it wasn't ok what I did, so off course I would not do it again because it would get me banned...

Which of the moderators do I need to contact about this, because I don't have a lot of trust in just sending an email to banappeals-w6pquw43@theymos.e4ward.com since I like being a part of this forum...

What is the message you get after you logged to your banned account?
If the message doesn't showing for how long you got banned, it's means you got permanent ban.

It didn't say how long. Crap. It sucks that I didn't get any warning before that happened...

You don't get a warning. It is up to YOU to read and follow the rules. With this happening to so many accounts, how is it you did not know?

Because it is my first account I do not have experience with other accounts on bitcointalk - until now.

It would be better to give a warning, because this way you also lose members who could add value to the community...

Sooooooo there is now way in activating my profile again? I spent a lot of time on there.

No, the rules are there, it is up to you to read and follow them.

I will do that. Lesson learned the hard way  :-X.

about that happening what the sulotoin about it. It is posible to open again? any guide to recover that account?

Nope, I just have to start all over again. No solution like re-opening the account. Dura lex sed lex.

If you remove all the spam posts I'll change it to a seven day ban.

OP, you won't find a more generous offer than this, so take him up on it. 
I was surprised to see that this ban was indefinite anyway.   You can obviously
write good English and didn't copy paste content.  So you deserve a little mercy
in my opinion and,  more importantly, hilariousandco does as well.  Do have a
look at the rules so as not to earn yourself a permanent ban.

But how am I supposed to remove them as I can't change any post as a consequence of the ban?

Are you sure you can't delete them? Pretty sure you can unless theymos changed it so banned users can't remove posts.

I just checked.

As you can see in the printscreen, I am logged in (status online) but there aren't any possibilities that appear next to the post to adjust or remove them... Unless I can do it in another way?
