Severe Forum Moderating Problem?

EzhmaTester · 03-06-2013, 04:02 PM

Hi,
I was recently banned for "advertising" apparently, which I don't understand. I was discussing a new artist I recently discovered, and they said I was banned because I was "advertising"...

I have read the rules and see NOTHING anywhere about not discussing pop artists. I have no clue as to why I was banned, because I was not advertising anything whatsoever.

Isn't this a forum to discuss new music? What the hell? Explanation please?

Because your first post was nothing but a simple sentence and a facebook link.

Here's the rules, maybe you'll actually read them this time.

You didn't offer any discussion at all.
You just said 'Hey check out this artist' and gave a link to a facebook page.

According the to rules of the forum that is spam & that will get you banned.
The moderator who banned you was totally justified.

Those who want power are most often the ones who shouldn't have it.
