Banned for Spam

Hey guys I would like to ask a question about using the forums. So I joined the forum recently (about 2 weeks ago) under the username ZigZagoon had a great time on the forums, asking questions and learning more about watches. However, I guess I must have posted too frequently for I was suddenly slapped with a ban for spamming. I'd like to first apologise to anyone who thought I was spamming: I swear that was not my intention: I'm just a uni student who loves procrastinating by surfing on these forums and learning more about these watches. Secondly, may I ask what the post limit is so that this doesn't happen again?

Thanks everyone.

No post farming, relevant content to threads. Pictures help.

Set a Avatar and @dsio might let you stay

That’s a shame, personally I thought that your UG MB was a good one. On the basis of that post alone I think you have the basis of being a good OF contributor.

I responded to your threads, I never felt you were worthy of a ban. Your questions could have been a bit more informed. Not sure where you crossed the line.

Thanks guys, oh well. I'll try to limit the frequency of my posts. Fingers crossed I won't get banned this time 😁

Mods here are pretty great. If this were TRF, his entire IP range would've been banned by now for creating a second account.

To be fair I'm pretty sure my IP is banned. I'm viewing this from incognito 😁

Incognito doesn't change your IP, it just lets you utilize a separate sandboxed set of cookies that gets wiped after your session

Same here. I just assumed there was more to the story (as there always seems to be around here).

Well that's all I know of but if there's another side to it I'll be happy to hear it because i don't know what I did to get banned 🙁

Can someone please educate me as to what "Spamming" entails?😕

It can't simply be posting 'complete and utter bollocks'.... because I've been doing that for 3 years! 🙄

'That's an interesting point, thanks for sharing.'

Sorta like that. 😁

Yeah I registered an account with my old email (its_leviozza) and received a confirmation email and was unable to post. I then registered another account with my main email (ZigZagoon) and have been using it ever since.

Turns out the confirmation email came through via junk but I forgot to check it but I don't believe I have ever used my its_leviozza account if you can check the records.

When I created the ZigZagoon account I didn't know it wasn't allowed to have another account and if that's the reason why I got banned for spam then it's my bad

Thumbs up to you for the contrition...when so many fail short of that simple act.
