just curious as to what the motives or reasons are for the restriction of my account..

i was pm'd by crager with a very large infraction regarding unpaid advertising on the site from a thread concerning tail light tinting...i was in the midst of an argument with some people that led to me getting pm's about my tail light tinting methods and such...i posted that i had attained these pm's and was happy for the response of people wanting their lights tinted (never did it)...with something like tinting a set of lights for chump change on the side attaining a forum sponsorship would zero out my profit in most cases and make it a waste of time, there isnt a SINGLE sponsor on this site that does ANYTHING REMOTELY like what i do (but have never done here)

I have NEVER tinted a set of lights from ls1tech ( have from other sites with full administration knowledge, under the same set of rules ) and have never broken any rules here...yet my account has been largely restriced until late march...

I have been an avid supporter of this web site with countless posts, MANY sales of parts/purchases of parts and any other form of forum utilization/support...i am on this site at least 3+ times a day and now my account is utterly useless

with that being said i am becoming very weary and questionate of the moderation motives to give out such heavy consequenses without any form of warning, discussion, or even acknowledgement to the issue....there is more to banning a person then reading something and pushing a button...it needs to be better justified than pm'ing a simple post that showed no proof of business transaction or anything....i just want to be heard on this issue and at least have someone acknowledge the issue and discuss it with me without immediately making assumptions and dropping 50 infraction points on me...

if you guys feel that isnt necessary and would like to continue your power trip im sure this thread will be locked, but if not i would wholely appreciate someone to take the time to make this right...

sorry this had to be a thread but my PM's have been shut down along with damn near everything else on my account


Thanks, Tyler.

 

Ok first off non-sponsor pimping services are not allowed on this site. Even if we do not have a sponsor that offer's such service you are not allowed to post non-sponsor soliciting. And BTW we do have sponsors that offer these services, pavlockperformance.com and Stuarts Paint and Body stuartspnb.com
If you'd like to advise member's on how to work their own, then just simply reply to their thread.

You are not "banned" but a restricted member because of your actions. Putting you on a "temp" restricted user list is the warning. You have zero For Sale/WTB threads so nothing but your non-sponsor pimping services will be hurt.

Re-read the site policy I sent you:

I put you on a 3-month restricted user list when I could really just leave you on it.
