Default Banned and no reason given

My brother called me and had me register here and try to get some facts.Seems he has been banned and he can not log on and there was no reason given.Is the a normal procedure on this forum?Did he make someone mad or hurt someones feelings?When he gets pissed off he will say what is on his mind. Ain't that the American way.The moderators here want more and more people to join but you can't speak your mind,HA.Lift the ban folks and solve the problem.Clark

He got upset about our minimum post count rule in the Trades & Sales section. And he continued to make posts/threads that added no value to the conversation but were made to just try to get his post count high enough to try to sell something.

Whitecrystal asked him a couple times to stop doing this, but he continued, so he received a 7 day ban.

We don't have a problem if someone is upset if they express that frustration in a decent, constructive manner.

^^Sounds like a good reason to me.

The mods have a tough job to try and keep this forum on topic, family friendly, and to keep it from becoming an ebay site. I like this forum and have found a lot of good info here and am glad the mods do such a good job inforcing the rules.
