I got banned because of spamming for 14 days

I don't understand on which way did I spam?

This is my profile

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=155650;sa=showPosts

I don't understand how my posts are any different then the posts Phinnaeus Gage or Dank make
I know Dank isn't an example but his posts make absolutely no sense while my are always topic related and he never got banned

Can someone at least elaborate this?  Undecided

yes, but he was banned for trolling, I however have been banned for spamming

and I think most of my posts are contributing to the discussion  Undecided

Is there any way to find out which moderator banned me?

You could try asking nicely. AFAIK that information isn't publicly available so you'd have to ask one of the staff/mods/theymos about it.

I thought it felt a bit quieter in the offtopic section.

@Pero112


Think about it for a second.

You were banned for spamming for 7 days, right?

Guess what they do to spam post, they delete them.

That's why you don't see any spam in your profile.


If I were you I would give it about a week and see if that fixes the problem LOL...



~BCX~

it's 14 days, not 7...
I have the same amount of posts I had earlier

that's what consirnes me, seems like someone banned me for no reason  Undecided

I have sent a message to theymos on April 19, 2014, 11:56:30 AM
no answer still but it's easter, hope I'll here back from them soon..

Your posts do look pretty low quality in general, but yes, BCX is probably right in that the worst posts were deleted.

Who told you this, theymos?
Were you warned prior to the ban?

Is there any way I can make an appeal to someone?

Paid sig spammer, either doesn't bother reading threads he's replying to (likely since he seems to post every minute or two on average), or repeats posts just to increase his post count. Not something easily seen just by looking at one's post history.

Your post is useless there, since it has already been explained in a better way.
But this is still strange, you got banned for that without a warning.

You were a second faster than me. I respect your decision, but it seems a lot compared to P.G. who got 7 days.

I do not repeat posts, I am trying to be as constructive as possible, I'm sorry my replies are sometimes short or low quality but they are not spam

as I said, you just hate me because I have an ad in my signature

admit you wouldn't ban me if there was no ad

Your post is useless there, since it has already been explained in a better way.
But this is still strange, you got banned for that without a warning.

that is my point, I understand it was a bit wrong to reply the thread but it's not a reason for a 14 day ban without warning

not mentioning that post is completely out of the definition of spam  Undecided

is there any way I can appeal to anyone about this?

You wouldn't have gotten banned if there was no ad, since you wouldn't be posting redundant posts for no reason other than to increase your post count, so you're partially correct.

I am not posting to increase my post count, I post a lot more on forum.hr and I have never been banned there

why isn't dharmapuriharithaa banned too?
don't bother to answer, it's of course because he doesn't have an ad in his signature

that's racist towards members with ads, either forbid ads or allow them

don't just ban because you want to ban some

What he's trying to say: spamming to get increase your post count is okay (somewhat), spamming for the ad signature payment is not.

You clearly do not know what racism is. If you are spamming the forum to line your own pockets, everyone suffers. BadBear is saying that you were clearly making posts just to get paid, if you were just making posts that were generally bad quality but you weren't doing it to get paid that'd be fine, but as you were doing it just to get paid it is not.

It's content being contributed because you want to contribute vs content being "contributed" because you want to get paid.

I am not spamming, I made a mistake responding to that thread but it is not spam

According to wikipedia
Quote
Forum spam consists of posts on Internet forums that contains related or unrelated advertisements, links to malicious websites, and abusive or otherwise unwanted information. Forum spam is usually posted onto message boards by automated spambots or manually with unscrupulous intentions with one idea in mind: to get the spam in front of readers who would not otherwise have anything to do with it intentionally.

Quote
Electronic spamming is the use of electronic messaging systems to send unsolicited bulk messages (spam), especially advertising, indiscriminately. While the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, wiki spam, online classified ads spam, mobile phone messaging spam, Internet forum spam, junk fax transmissions, social spam, television advertising and file sharing spam. It is named after Spam, a luncheon meat, by way of a Monty Python sketch in which Spam is included in every dish.[1]



Quote
It's content being contributed because you want to contribute vs content being "contributed" because you want to get paid.

that is your and his opinion
it's not in the forum rules

as long as I am not spamming I should not be banned for spamming
please take some time to read what spamming actually is  Undecided

Dude all you have to do is post constructively. Don't post in a thread if you don't understand the discussion / haven't read the preceding posts, etc.
