According to the rules of bitcointalk in this thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=434310.0Most giveaway threads are no longer allowed in the Alternate cryptocurrencies sections. From now on, posting or replying to such threads could result in being banned. Existing threads will be locked.
Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.
Similar threads are already restricted to Games and Rounds in the non-altcoin sections, but the giveaway-related post volume is so high in the altcoin sections that I've decided to just ban them entirely here.
First DEFINE "MOST" because clearly this was never an issue before when doing giveaways outside of bitcointalk and now you banned it wrongfully.
You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.
The post of their twitter account is NOT wrong and it is NOT paying them a bonus for replying to the thread. You are just asking the community to show their twitter account to gain more followers within the community and to socialize with bitcoin members.
This is another wrongful reason that leads up to this wrongful ban.
This could be a case of CENSORSHIP & RETALIATION and BIASED CODE OF ETHICS.
MODS, you must considered the weigh the effects of your actions, and own up to the mistake you have made.
UNBAN THE ACCOUNT AND UNLOCK THE THREAD.
