Sure keep going. But please complain in the meta section about it if you got your ban. Ive seen it in the past, I pass it along to newbies, nothing else. If you think you know better, who am I to stop you?
You're talking nonsense. I've once avoided the section almost completely and still got banned.
It's not a matter of which section you post in, but how you post in it.
I posted in beginners and help a lot and
Stunna said if I post constructively, I would not get banned. I believe he don't ban people for which section they post but rather constructive posts.
I am a bit confused here.
Are you guys talking about "Stunna banning you from the PD sig campaign" or "mods banning your bitcointalk account" ?
Well those both have pretty much same rules so if you get banned for one of them you probably get banned for both.
Both of them are against spamming.
And nobody gets banned because they post in "wrong" section.
It is about what you post, not where you post.
I guess that myth about if you post to offtopic gets you banned is because if someone wants to spam it is easiest place to do so, so most of spammers spam to offtopic. But that doesn't mean posting to offtopic makes you spammer.
#1 this:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/i-was-banned-i-post-at-off-topic-631591#2 posting the majority of your posts in off topic is spam. This forum is about bitcoin (and maybe altcoins) if 50% of your posts are about something else, then Id ask why do you post here? If you want to talk about X or Y you will find a board for that. They will not pay you, but thats not the reason you post, is it? I dont care how substantial your posts are if over 50% of them are in off topic you are spamming this board. I am no mod, I dont run this campaign, thats my opion. You can have yours and now I will stop discussing this here. Its off topic and thus borderline spam.
#1 For real it was: "I was banned for spamming to offtopic."
Why do you think mods would have made off topic here if all post made in it would automatically be spam?
#2 That is the purpose of off topic, you can post about anything in it that would be off topic at any other thread.
And there is Bitcoin related topics at off topic too, those which don't fit any other categories.
Talking about cars at Bitcoin forum is on topic if you do it in off topic.
And we already got confirmation about this, from forum staff. You can read it here:
