Well it should not any surprise at all.
It
is clearly written out for people to read and understand.

8.Group Buys are prohibited by both individuals and businesses unless pre-approved. Do not try to “get a group buy going through a shop you know just so you can save all your best friends on SupraForums a buck or two”…we’ve seen all this tried before too. Any attempted group buys will be deleted and will result in your IMMEDIATE AND PERMANENT BANNING.
Do people actually think that SF is set up for you all to just spend lots of your leisure time there and do whatever you want to do?
No, it is not.
It is set up to make $$$ and all those that threaten that or compete for the $$ will be banned. So many are actually niave enough to think that SF will pay for the hosting for other people to compete with their products?
It is like this:
SF is like a restaurant that you can hang at, but going there to sell your own food (using that as a metaphor) will not be tolerated.
Now I do have issues with the admins and think that they are a bit corrupt and liars (a few of them) and so I don't post there.
(I judge a site by who runs it.)
But I can clearly understand why they would ban people for what you did.
First thing anyone should do when they get on a forum is to read the rules and then decide if they can comply.
This post was objective and stated to exchange info, not make people
feel bad.
So I mean no offense by it in case you don't like what I am saying.
