shouldn't have been a dumbass. The 50 post count rule is there for a reason, and spamming is a good way to get banned quickly.

if he had to sell it, there's other places he can do that, craigslist, ebay, autotrader just to name a few. The 50 post rule is to help protect users from scammers.

So you're saying that a friend created an account from your computer so he could bypass our rules. He then spammed a bunch of forums...all from your computer? Nothing personal, but that sounds like pure to me.

To answer your question, no...we're not going to unban the account.
We'll keep an eye on yours also.

Thanks.
