I little late on this one. Awhile ago I tried posting on the For Sale forum on TRF, and was not able to because of my status. If your status allowed you to post, then not really sure how they could get so PO'd. Banning seems a bit harsh, especially for a first infraction.
As a rule of thumb, I steer clear of any forums that charge members to sell...what a racket.
I emailed a moderator on here when I wanted to sell some pieces, but did not have enough posts. He vetted me on ebay and TZ, saw that I was not a scammer or asshat (although that is debatable if your watch sets counter clockwise), and allowed me to offer my pieces to other forum members who are now proud owners.
Rules are rules, and it is important to follow them, but I think that common sense should prevail when it comes to certain types of infractions. In regards to selling on the TRF, what would their reaction be if someone tried to sell a Hodinkee worthy DRSD tropical with B/P's owned by their uncle that was a Navy Seal, race car driver, polar explorer, who started the first chain of massage parlors called "Egos"?
Sorry you got banned, and are stuck on here with this cast of cat loving, smartass, photoshop hack, counter clockwise watch winding idiots...
