Gee, thanks.....
Story Time:
I was browsing the collaboration and audio forums for new updates and possible projects to join. I saw a person who started a topic advertising cheap watches for sale on some website, so I posted a comment about it saying that this was not a forum for advertising watches and then added "*summons ban hammer*" as a joke.
Later, I checked the topic again to see if a moderator had removed it or at least locked it, but it had not been. But a moderator HAD seen it and posted in it, but not done anything about it, as if it was fine. So I made another reply where I requested, yes, REQUESTED a ban of his account or removal or locking of the topic.
I was not ordering anyone, I was not trying to impersonate staff, I was simply making a request, hoping that something would be done about it. Then now I come back to find myself banned AND the topic removed.
If everyone feels I am guilty, I'm sorry you feel that way. I was simply requesting something to be done when a moderator who was there didn't do anything.
I'm not trying to pick a fight with anyone, but simply stating my opinion and saying that I feel like I've been treated unjustly while telling you the details to give you, the readers, a perspective of what happened.
.... And then they all lived happily ever after, except for Colonel Magus, he had to wait for 3 days.. THEN he lived happily ever after.
The End.
