I did not block you from replying. I closed a sale thread because the thread had run its course. ALL sale threads get closed when the sale was concluded. Taking this as being "blocked from replying" leads me to other questions I will not get into here.
You received my PM about the warning (I'll get to that soon) and I received all 3 replies from you, so you are also not blocked from sending out a PM either. It merely states as such but this problem has been communicated many a time to all members. If you had allowed me more time, I would have eventually responded to your PM's. I do not sit on the forum, ready to reply to all the messages I get all day long. I get many, and my personal life has become incredibly busy and demanding. So seeing as you want this aired, I will proceed to my next point: the warning.
You were issued a 20% warning for "personal insults and name calling". See those quote marks? It's in the rules. And the 20% warning is standard for breaking that rule. I do not care what sale was concluded, or what sale you missed, or who did what to your ego wherever. You broke a rule, and I acted on that.
If you had an issue with a seller not conducting himself properly on the forum, report his post. Report him to admin. Post that you had been done in. Whatever. What I saw when I entered that thread was you breaking rules with no manner of concept as to why you were insulting the seller.
If you lost out on a sale, for whatever reason, take it up with the seller or post your side of the story so that we can make sense of what is happening. The forum cannot act as a policeman over sale threads. Being a member of a forum does not guarantee you the sale transaction. Perhaps this seller received a better offer for his items than you offered and he really needed every cent he could get for whatever personal reason. We don't know. If you can provide context, then do so. If the seller is a scammer, or whatever, then let us know.
Your warning for breaking the rules stands.
