So I did, I named my account Waffle Flames which is also the name of my band (Not advertisement this time, Mods...) After posting on 1 or 2 threads I thought I'd introduce myself to your community by posting about my band, I wasn't trying to spam or whatever I just thought it'd be a cool way to introduce myself and get some opinions on our stuff. The next day I try to log in only to see that MusicBanter has PERMANENTLY BANNED that account because of that one thread. A music website of all places doesn't let you post about your music! I can understand doing so if someone made an account purely for spamming intentions and did nothing but that but I was not one of those people! I posted in several other forums on the same day that I posted the thread about my band! And how was I supposed to know that I couldn't post about my band on a MUSIC forum? I bet any mods response to that would be "It's in the terms when you register" And just in case anyone was thinking that I'll just go ahead and tell you that NO ONE IN THE HISTORY OF INTERNET KIND has ever read the terms and conditions before signing up. It's 2 or more freaking pages long most of the time. And even if it is in the terms shouldn't I at least get a warning? Couldn't you at least send me a message telling me not to do it again and delete the thread? Was it really necessary to permanently delete my account? I think it's stupid, and if the mods delete this thread too then I'll explode all over this site. I just want to be able to participate on this site like everyone else. Being oblivious to one thing shouldn't qualify a permanent ban. If it's possible I'd like my old account to be unbanned and then I'll delete this one. Thanks.
