I was a relatively new member back in late October and went by the username "Shyam09" (http://www.tomshardware.com/community/profile-1792484.htm) and roughly one month later (Nov. 22) I got a PM stating that I was banned by "ex_bubblehead"
I did my research and realized that some bans were permanent while others were temporary. I tried to contact mods to learn more about the reason for the ban since as far as I knew, I wasn't a commercial spammer. But PMs were disabled (perhaps since I was a new member) so the only way to reach out was by creating an account behind a VPN.
I have opened up only three threads on Tom's Hardware:
First
Second
Third
I do realize that spamming on the forums is a big pain, so I do apologize for the inconveniences caused by one of my posts that resulted in so many mod alerts.
Thank you for taking the time to read.
