    Re: hello can i rant

    You were banned undoubtedly for spamming and/or posting trollbait posts with your first post. IMO, you should actually become part of the community before you try posting stuff like that.

    If you want to post rants, www.livejournal.com or www.facebook.com!

    No but I call this spamming, posting multiple times in an effort to get a higher post count

    Oh, not really into post counts... just into conversations.

    Welcome to Hexus.

    Hexus is not a retailer.

    You may rant (if you realy want to) but in line with the rules of Hexus which are in my sig (useful information about Hexus).

    Your posts will carry more weight if you generally obey the rules of capitalisation, and sentence construction. Not only does that make the posts easier for others to read (so they are more likely to) but you differentiate yourself from spammers who tend not to bother.

    So follow those guidlines and you will get more from Hexus. As with most things in life, the more you give, the more you get back!

    Enjoy!

    Re: hello can i rant

    As other have said, there's no ban on rants here as such, provided you stay within forum rules. Most notably, in the context of rants, that means no swearing, and no insulting of other members.

    We do ban obvious spamming accounts on the spot, but for that to happen, the account has to meet a series of criteria, which for obvious reasons, I won't list. Suffice it to say that if you're actually a person, you won't get banned until you start spamming. If you post a few initial posts, usually in a matter of minutes, and the spamming starts, the account is likely to be locked.

    If you're posting the way you have in this thread so far, you've no worries about getting banned here.
