Banned due to copyright violations

[Prawl3r]

Hi Erin and all the community,

I am banned due to copyright violation. I can't remember my posts at all. However, if a rule has to be implemented, the moderators have to apply it due to their own jurisdictions.

I just wanted to help people in my study progress, and they wanted to help me.If it is illegal ( honestly, I didn't know it was illegal at all at that times since I was a novice ), of course there should be no excuses for that.

But the point in here is, Erin gave me warning weeks ago, for one violation message that I posted. I haven't even send a post related with violation. Today, I am banned due to another message I posted earlier than the other post.

You gave me a warning, I have done nothing irregular after then. But you banned me because I did something illegal before the warning. I don't find it very fair since you banned me relying on previous post after warning. On the contrary point, if rule is rule, it has to be applied.

I want to say I am really sorry about the violation.
I was not much aware at latter times.
Thanks for all your supports and contributions to my GMAT studies.

Regards,

Prawler

Prawler, let me take a look at your account.

Yes, I understand that it may not be fair. However, I usually have no choice in the matter; ETS et al watch our forums so we have to be strict about the rules.
