I was distributing my coins through equal share distribution. This means everyone get's an equal share for a fee. I made the first 5 pages fee=0 then 5+ pages 0.002btc each with a changing rate as pages increased. This is a similar sales method as NEM. The thread had already reached 5+ [ages and I was collected btc when the thread was locked and my account was banned for 2 weeks under the offence of running an alt-coin giveaway. However this wasn't an altcoin giveaway and I feel like I was wrongly banned. Is their anyway I can get a moderator to look at my thread and unlock it and also unban me? I put a lot of work into this new protocol and "coin" that I had built and I hate for it to hit a roadblock or even complete stop like this. Thanks.

Most giveaway threads are no longer allowed in the Alternate cryptocurrencies sections. From now on, posting or replying to such threads could result in being banned. Existing threads will be locked.
Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.
Similar threads are already restricted to Games and Rounds in the non-altcoin sections, but the giveaway-related post volume is so high in the altcoin sections that I've decided to just ban them entirely here.

So, your account has been banned correctly according to the rule
