first ban
here a person made various predictions about the failure of team hardcore. i posted some other predictions. when i was banned, i was told that i should not make comments that might bother people. looking at the thread now it looks like i was posting to myself since there are no other posts, but other posters made posts and were subsequently banned.
the warning and the second banning
here i am not exactly sure what happened. i got a warning from one mod advising me not to bump. i did not understand how i bumped, and the mod went to great lengths to make this clear to me through multiple pms. he told me that i made numerous consecutive posts, which is called making multiple posts, and that this is against the rules. i had never heard anything about multiple posts, and for as long as i have posted in the threads i have pounded out responses to various posts by distinct posters during the same sitting. he warned me that this is against the rules, and i have kept this in mind since then.
then, within a few hours, another mod looked at the same posts on the same page of the thread and banned me. when i was notified automatically of the ban, the description of my offense was 'spamming'. i did not understand how i spammed, so i sent a pm to that mod asking for an explanation. he told me that i posted the same message 3 times in a row, and that this is spam. i could not see the thread since my posts were hidden, so i asked via pm to be shown the posts that involved me making the same post 3 times in a row. i also asked, among other things, if i was supposed to be both warned and banned for the same posts. i do not know if i was supposed to be punished twice for the same posts, and i did not know if i was supposed to be punished twice for the same posts, so i asked more questions via pm, but i have not heard anything about that.
within the matter of hours my understanding of bumping and spamming changed radically, so i opened a thread asking for further clarification, and hoped that others could learn about this at the same time. in that thread a third mod posted that he did not see any bumping, and that the thread may have looked like i was bumping since many posts in the thread were hidden as the result of other posters being banned. that mod also responded to questions that i asked about the ban and about bumping in general.
if you care about your bnet title and wish to decrease the risk of getting banned, then i would not make posts that share traits with mine that i have linked here.

i have been a bnet member for 3 years and had a title of 'heroic member'. in the last month i was banned twice and warned once, and i have now been demoted to 'member'. this leads me to believe there is a strong correlation between bnet punishment and bnet title.
How did you manage to get banned twice?
