Let me reply to this directly and bluntly.
First off when you joined the forum you agreed to the Terms and Conditions of the forum. Specifically this point in the T&C's
URL links to other sites are not allowed period. They will be removed and the user can be banned without warning.
Anyone that joins and does this gets banned immediately and they are reported to spam sites so if they join elsewhere they get stopped in their tracks.
In your case you stopped posting because I didn't mention you in the newsletter when I informed everyone that "I was back" after upgrading the site. You questioned me if your posts were worth it and I told you yes.
You started posting again. Then you started to post links to other sites in your posts. I e-mailed you and politely informed you to stop doing so. Yet you continued. I had to go in and edit your posts daily. Yet I let you still post. I e-mailed you again and advised if it continued I would have to ban you. You continued, but instead of a full out right ban, I gave you a one day ban which was weeks ago.
I can tell you without any certainty, no member from this forum was e-mailing you asking you why you weren't posting. How would they get your e-mail from the site? I don't give out anyone's information, no one can pull your profile and see your information. So unless they are members elsewhere or people you know, that's about it. Claiming picks that are your yours when they aren't isn't cool. Some of the same exact information Sailfish and I were posting you claimed it was your picks with the same exact write up and picks verbatim.
I'll end it with this, thanks for posting here, it was appreciated and I was very tolerable to a fault. Good luck on your future endeavors.
