Also this site is community first, sales are a non-issue and you're just adding fuel to a fire that does not exist. Try helping the community instead of making a profit.

Ban this sucka!

Being the one person who was trolling me and being mean to me the most you have no say in this conversation.

Kitsch is a sensible guy and genuinely cares for the well being of the site. If he has asked you not to do something, then you should listen. He gave you a warning, which should be a clear indication to refrain from doing anything that could further incriminate you. Because you didn't listen and proceeded on your merry way, this is the result. I am sorry if you don't like that some places on the internet enforce their rules; that's just how it is here. As I haven't seen you around very much, I would go so far as to say that you lack the understanding of what a moderator does and how his position must require him to take such actions. Your best course of action now is to apologize and save some face, because you're making a right fool of yourself right now.

You guys really don't get it do you? I did listen. "Don't pointlessly bump your sale threads without giving an important update." Ok I got it. I did nothing against the rules. You guys are exhibiting every logical fallacy in the book right now.

Except it's not new content!  It was the same content, at a slightly different point in time!

OK new reason for posting a thread about the same item. Different point of time gave me a new reason to post the thread. A time update.

if a staff member closes a thread, do NOT make an identical new one. they closed it for a reason

It was not an identical thread. It was a thread warning people about the little amount of time left before the item ended.

- If you are selling or looking for several items at the same time, please post everything in one thread.

Two things wrong with that logic. 1. "If you are selling for several items at the same time" Ok I was selling one item.

2. An end update is perfectly within the means of common sense. I was trying to sell something. Not posting that time update would have given me a worse chance at selling my item.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with an end auction update on according to the forum rules. Look it up again bud. I did nothing deserving of a ban whatsoever. A permanent ban would be completely immoral and wrong because I technically did not violate the rules in any way. The fist time I bumped the listing I was warned by KITSCH. I stopped after that.

Edit: I guess we could reword everything to make it more clear. But I do believe it's common sense. Stop using CMO for spaming your goods, it's a free site for community first, not for you to sell gold gameboys.

As a long time moderator of another forum, I agree with Kitsch' actions. It wasn't so much that he had an agenda against the OP, but that he was shutting down a troll fest.

But why did he friggen ban me!?
