Yes, I am associated with the account. I made this fully clear in the OP. Because I myself have an association with the account and have helped to create a business, is that a damnation for all things ever to come?
Let's dispense with the ambiguous "associations". Is it your account? Did you use it to post on this forum?
Multiple people have posted with the account, including myself. Probably 5 people. But all content was 100% original non-spam non-plagiarized content designed solely to help users.
Going forward, the account will be limited to just one or two people. (Unless there is some site-wide policy that I am unaware of that restricts the use to single users, in which case I apologize and will not allow that to happen going forward.)
There's a "ban evasion" rule that doesn't allow you to use any other accounts while one of your accounts is banned (except to create an appeal thread such as this one). You're already breaking that rule and that can earn you a permaban.
Another problem - your sent and received trust ratings, which may earn you red trust.
I see. Well this account has existed since 2013 and I'm certainly not trying to evade any bans. I stand by anything that was done so far because I don't think anything was done maliciously. In my own opinion, I also don't think any lines were crossed, but as I've said I'm happy to donate retributions to any mods/bitcointalk for any damage done and lead a very conservative posting moving forward. I don't know what else I can say to that effect.
The trust ratings I also justify because I am applying part of my own reputation behind the company and have made an investment within. Again, maybe there are rules surrounding the legality of this that I don't know. But, from my perspective, if there were a brand new casino out there I'd be much happier to know that an established member of the community was backing the website than a 0 post 0 trust 0-anything. Do you understand where I'm coming from? How else do you fix a gap in knowledge to new users otherwise? If it's illegal for me to back a product I'm endorsing, I guess I don't know what else to say.
