RTM asked me for help since he thinks he was given a vacation prematurely in this thread. I just told him I would post this here since he mentioned he had not gotten a reply to his emails.
Here was his email to me:
<< I posted @ 10:45 (it shows on my post) just for a bump, than i left to do some things. I guess the mods posted that i needed to take something out of my thread (a 30/30 rifle) which i didnt see cause i was out doing things.
than i came back at 2:45 and just scrolled down for another bump and missed the warning from them. next thing i know a guy i know from anadtech is IM'ing me saysing: they locked your thread. i went t the thread and read what the mod posted and right then and there i took out the 30/30 from ym webpage. than about 5 minutes later i got this:
"You were warned at 10:42AM to remove the reference to the firearm. Since you choose not do to so your posting privileges are revoked for one week.

I removed it as soon as i saw the post! and i have to go to LA ina couple days so i really needed to work some of these deals so i could take them down to LA (I have alot fo heavey things). I have been here for a long time and i have never pissed the mods off and i alwways do what they say. and this was nothing more than i miscommunication.
I know this isnt your fight i just can't get ahold of them. I tried e-mailing them @ moderators@nanatech.com . no response.
i think this is crazy that i was banned for an accident that was fixed as soon as i did realize (as you can see the gap in time i was out i did a bump for the road at 10:45 and a return bump at 2:30 or so)
thanks
