That was definitely it, because the auto detection also works in pms.
So petty... i understand not wanting to promote competition but to actively ban people for using that word in a private message is going too far. its not like i made a post telling people to go there, instead i was helping some1 get the best deal they can.
Its the same as if i was in a Costco store and text a friend to go to walmart since item cheaper there, and a manager bans me since they were monitoring all calls/texts going in and out of the building..
Truely sad, considering how ive spent 20 years (2005 was my 1st account, this my 2nd account with 15 years) ive spent supporting this site and actively suggesting it too people ive sent to this site and the actual money those people and i have spent here. i literally just helped sign a friend up and teach him how to use site and also he spent 40$ yesterday thanks to my referral...
