Please help. Got banned for no reason.

[~HFC~]

Hello, I am the developer of XBM coin.

I was banned for "altcoin giveaway". I am not sure where I gave any altcoins. I would like to see the proof.
I'm hosting an ICO on this forum and people have been posting their transaction ID's and their addresses so they can claim their coins after XBM launches.

That's not considered as "SPAM" or "altcoin giveaway" as far as I'm aware. They're posting proof so the community and our escrow, devthedev can see that they've actually sent coins. I'm trying to make a transparent ICO. This is a serious project. I have invested a lot of my personal time in it.

Please resolve this issue. Thank you very much.
I am holding people's funds, don't want them to think that I've run away.
Also, an apology would be great.

Nickname of banned account is: HardForkComing

If this guy gets banned then why aren't people posting signature campaigns getting banned? most of them ask that you post your btc wallet address for payment ect

Is there any way you could unlock the topic for only 1 minute, so I can quote it and get everything from there? Or if You could paste it in my inbox? It'd appreciate it.

I'll delete that specific line, so we avoid future issues.

I am sorry for the misunderstanding.

IIRC, that rule is applied only to the altcoin section.
Giving people incentive to post in the bitcoin section is alright. Indeed, there are a couple of bitcoin giveaway going on in the Games and Rounds section.
