I was asking people are you interested in joining a band

it wasn't really an ad, just a question.

I don't see a problem with that really. There might be a rule against that.

Oh, then you just answered your own question.

Is asking does anyone want to join a band advertising?

Why would it perma-ban me?

Not as far as I know. Talk to a mod. Their names are the blue ones.

Do you know any different sites that would be good for finding band mates.

Yeah there's a couple. This one's more of a discussion forum anyways and you probably won't find members that live near you. Lemme remember the names and I'll post them here.
