I feel I was wrongfully banned from KWWHunction.

I signed up to KWWHunction a few weeks back with the user name vac840.
I made 2 posts before leaving for work that morning. One was in the "Introductions" section where I said hello to the forum and expressed my gratitude for coming across such an excellent community full of great tips and resources, and how I was looking forward to becoming an active contributor to the forum. The other post was in the "Webmaster Discussion" section, where someone had asked about a good tool for making video thumbs, and I suggested FreeStudio cause it has a video thumbnail creator plus tons of other valuable apps for use in light weight video/image editing.

When I cam home from work later that day, I went to log in to KWWHunction and was presented with the following message:
You have been banned for the following reason:
spambot
Date the ban will be lifted: Never

Now, I can only assume that I was banned for this post that I left in the "Webmaster Discussion" section, but what I don't understand is why. I was not spamming, and I broke no forum rules. I was simply suggesting a tool like the OP had asked for. Just like everyone else who posted in that thread had done before me. The link I posted was not an affiliate link, and I am not the creator of that software. I get no type of affiliate commission if someone downloads that software or anything like that. The software is not even a paid software... ITS FREE!!! So what I don't understand is how I was spamming?

Then I think I made things worse ...
The next day, or maybe a few days later, I don't really remember; I decided to try and create another account. I thought to myself, "Well, I didn?t see anything saying I was IP banned, so I guess it will be okay to just create a new account and start from scratch." So I did, and I made a few posts under this new account (Screen Name: Seany D), and once again, when I tried to log in later that day, I was presented with another message saying I was banned. I did not spam or even link to any site under this new screen name, so of course, I realized making another account name was most likely not the best idea.

Now I am here again, under a new screen name, but before you ban this name to, please Mods, hear me out.
I really like this forum, and I feel that I can not only learn a great deal by being a member here, but that I can also be a great contributor to the success of others on KWWHunction.
I've never spammed this forum (or any forum for that matter), and I never will. I come to these forums to learn, and become an active member.
Yes, I understand I may have broken a rule when I created a new account after 1st being banned, and yes I understand that I've probably now broken that same rule again by creating this new account, but I only created this new account to try and get some answers from the Mods. I did try emailing KWWHunction multiple times about this ban, but all my emails have gone unanswered.

I don't want to beg, but that?s exactly what I feel like I'm doing right now, and I apologize for that. I just ask that you please give me one chance. One chance to prove that I am not a spammer or trouble maker. Even if you lift the ban on my original account and just leave me on probation for an extended amount of time, I would be grateful.

My original username was: vac840
I patiently await your response.

Sincerely,
Sean

The same thing is happened to me. I was banned here in KWWHunction few weeks back. But I am back here again with different name. I have been mistaken as spammer. But the fact is that, I was not. I am fine now, sound and safe . My sincere thanks to all the guys running this great website.
Hi to all the members and visitors - on this 4th July.

I see two more bans in a moment.

You shouldn't be given a chance because you shouldn't have been banned in the first place. I think it was the "FreeStudio" post which made RT think that you were a spam bot. All I can say is, on behalf of RT is sorry for the misunderstanding. You're here to stay and I'm sure you'll be a top contributor. If you don't wish to keep the current username, PM me the old username you wish to use.

Thanks

Hawk, do I have my old user name back or should I just continue to use this screen name?
And thank you so much! Happy 4th

You on the other hand were banned for actually spamming, runner99. Ring any bells now? We'll allow you to stay but if you spam again, we'll place a ban. Try not to spam other members threads again.

Thanks

If you want, we can merge the accounts.

Hawk,
How funny you are. It was spam just because of runner99. Yes, there were two post, one was misplaced. Saying that, I would not have taken it as spam - if i were you. It's not about you allow me to stay here or not. It's about how your shithead takes someone as spamming. Block my ip if you like.

Thanks.

Only shithead here is you, acting like one.

first you are thanking them, then you are calling them shitheads

My sincere thanks to all the guys running this great website.

You have serious head issues. Go find a doctor.

[Eidson99]

I should have said "All the guys running this great website except Mod Hawk"
