When I stepped into this thread out of curiosity and saw that OP was already banned, I thought, wow, now that escalated quickly.
I don't think he read anything. I personally asked him to add the source to his topic, but he never did. The result is obvious.
A mystery to me, why he didn't see the yellow penalty card and acted upon accordingly. Another mystery is why newbies seem to have a hard time to find, read and digest the forum rules
before they even post for the first time. I mean, if you register your account, your're not obliged to post immediately. Your account won't expire, you've all the time to wander around, read the sticky posts, go from those to usually linked helping or informative posts and so on.
The author of this topic will no longer answer. Above is
my post about it.
After you announced that OP has been banned, some posters sadly seem to have not done any reading of this thread's recent posts when they address the OP as if nothing had happened. Well, they have their reasons, I guess.
Moral of this: pay more attention to forum's rules; pay more attention to what has recently been posted in a thread before you post yourself or your contribution may look very sloppy.
