Strangest way to treat "new" members?

This is recent but I created an account on some site that loves Sony game products (PSP, PS3, etc), nothing strange yet? I make a topic in the PS3 forum about weather what I was deciding to purchase for the system (which I don't have yet) was good, I come back a few hours later and I'm banned.

I go to the site with another browser to see what the rules were, and they seemed like the usual rules (such as what this site has (https://forum.blu-ray.com/faq.php?fa...forumrulesfull)), nothing out or the ordinary that I can tell, yet a NEW topic about PS3 games in a PS3 FORUM gets me banned?

First of all sorry if there’s some words that offended this is just my personal experience in here. Once again I don't mean to offend anyone.

That's not silly, I've experienced similar although I didn't' get ban. For instance, recently I've received a warning from one of the top brass here. He said I made an infraction just because I was asking “if there's anyone who support or establish any group buy for particular title of the steelbook, because I would love to join.” I tried to replied and said sorry, let’s see what his answer and he never respond back. I posted that question in one of the steelbook discussion thread. Does it bother or even violated the rules? I'm not sure even if it is then this must be some kind of strict forum I've ever joined where you can't have much freedom to ask or to write (even I had written and asked with polite words). I'm trying to look and think about the link you've provided about the rules and there's nothing there mention - regarding my problem. Even if there is, a lot of people said words that are not really related to the topic that is given sometimes.. This is just a discussion thread (I'm not even forcing someone to create a group buy) so when someone have something in their mind that just pop up and try to ask then it’s normal because we wanted to discuss that’s the point of what the word "Steelbook discussion" isn't??

But probably I’m the unlucky one who got caught. I mean this is just a forum for all the blu-ray lovers. Well, it should be fun and relaxing. If asking about any group buy in the steelbook thread is violated the rules then it shouldn’t be called steelbook discussion??

Well, that just my thought. I can’t do much. No power no control to act.

Once again I’m sorry if there’s anything offended, once again just sharing my experience in here. Hope it doesn't violate the rules.
