Default Restricted User???

I noticed my status was changed to "Restricted User". Can one on the mods please let me know why? I tried to PM one of the mods and it says I am banned, no reason given. Thanks.

You the guy that does the hiltsy mounts? Just curious cause of your screen name. Maybe it was a sponsor selling violation. Just thinking out loud. I'm bored today

Ya, that's me. They told me I couldn't solicit on the forum, and I haven't. As you know I post info but I never say anything about my mount.

Honestly, I don't pay much attention to the 8.8 swap threads. They may have restricted PMs as precautionary. Although it may not be your fault, in the past there were some who very quietly lurked and sent PMs soliciting business trying to stay under the radar. I'm definitely not accusing anyone just saying what I know has happened with others. They may restrict PMs as a precaution so they don't have to "police" anyone's activities so to speak. All I can come up with.

Your status was moved to restricted due to the amount of product requests posted via the Visitor Message system. Although you have no control over who contacts you via this feature, or even PM for that matter, this was visible and outside of what we allow for non-sponsors. Unfortunately, this is probably due to past threads where you had advertised your mounts prior to being reminded of the rules on the matter - the damage was already done and has perpetuated.

This is the only option we can offer at this time, unless of course you wish to become a sponsor. If so, you can contact the Internet Brands sales team via the Marketplace drop-down in the top tool bar to begin the process.
