Hi admin,

my previous ID, testpoint, received:

Sorry testpoint, you are banned from using this forum!
This ban is not set to expire.

what is the problem ? I never post any against the forum's content.

You seem to be only promoting your eBay store here. This is really spam.

I'm not an admin, but I support the ban. Read the description of the section Buy/Sell/Wanted: "Only dealers who are valued contributors to the forum community are welcome to post here."

You have not posted anything else, but ads for your items.

I also write something for the technical question, there is no such announcement if I listed something in ebay will be banned.

I agree.
Interestingly, I can't find the OP's other account testpoint in the members list. Perhaps it's deleted?

Details are still there. Perhaps the member list excludes banned accounts?

It doesn't say it's banned. Normally when an account is banned, there's a message saying so next to each post and on the profile.

It seems that the banned icon is only visible next to the posts (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/buysellwanted/sell-new-fluke-oc4usb-and-ir189usb-replacement/msg1206527/#msg1206527).

Big problem, as it seems like the main purpose you joined here is not to hang-out, discuss or share, but starting to sell, as simple as that.

Whats wrong with hang out a little bit and joint the discussion for a while, just like you visit a new neighborhood as normal people do.
