Funny, I hadn't got a report about OP yet, as far as I remember..
I might have send you this ->
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11222949I think, it was because of one or two posts that was obviously insubstantial (that is difficult to find) rather than the whole post history being bad?
Well, 1 or 2 posts dont really matter in my opinion. Why cant I have some freedom and post what I wanted to say?
You are free to post what you want, but the moment you are selling your signature you will be judged differently when in doubt. There are elaborated versions of spam. It might not have been your intention to spam either, but your intention does not transfer over the net. E.g. a rephrasing of an existing post as I linked above, which makes it seem like a contribution while in fact you are just repeating what was already written by someone else in your own words. This often happens if people just read the title or OP and quickly write an answer instead of reading the entire thread IMHO. Lately its happens to me that I read 2 or more pages of a thread and prepare replies to posts only to see someone else has already answered something very similar. If the argument was already posted it does not contribute anything to the discussion if I just repeat it. I just have the example given above and I will not go through your posting history to dig up more.
I cant dont want to just lengthen for example "hello" to "hello there, I am josef200, I am xx years old and using bitcoin since 2012." There were some posts that I could only reply with that without adding any unneccessary content, maybe you take these posts as spam and insubstntial.
The length is not the issue here. A political speech might take several hours without anything of value being transmitted. On the other hand a single word like "yes" can be helpful and in some cases and thus contributing.
There are members out there that posts around 50 posts a day in the speculation board that only consists of 1 sentence and wear a signature and still not get banned. So why was I?
If you think others deserve a ban, report them. Pointing fingers does not improve your position though.
I am expecting a reason and proof , not something like:
From my experience: you wont get that.
Some moderator banned you for 60 days because you posted insubtantial posts with a signature ad. So we will leave it as it is because we are the Moderators and you have nothing to say.
60 day means its not your first ban, but your
last warning. The next on is permanent.
Not trying to insult you BadBear, but thats typically you... Dont take it serious, you are not a bad person. I know being an Admin/Moderator is a hard job, cleaning all that spam and other things. But just make decisions based on your current mood is just not right.
So, may any Moderator or the person that banned me stand out and speak? I dont want to be guilty for no reason. If there is an actual reason, please tell me
Bans are typically handed out by BadBear. Keep in mind that "constructive", "spam" or "valueable reply" is subjective and from what I have seen BadBear does not take this lightly.
