sure wish someone would tell me the definition of Spam..
Well.... I decided to look into it
This is what I found:
cybernothing.org
cybernothing.org
From the above:
3.1) Yeah, but how many times is 'X'?
How many posts does it take to push the spam envelope? To use up all your spam charity points? For a bare-bones spam? To trigger the raging-spam-cancellers-from-Hell?
Among those who agree that spam should be defined solely by quantity,
-----------------> 20 <--------------------
appears to be the magic number, or at least a number so middle-of-the-road that it provokes very little passionate dissent in either direction. Notably, Cancelmoose[tm] refused to set a firm number, in the belief that people would simply post [X-1] messages. It's safe to say that a couple incidents of 19-post spams would cause the magic number to plummet. Thus, 20 should be considered a vague approximation only.
Passionately dissenting note: Rahul Dhesi [dhesi@rahul.net], one of the fathers of the cancel-bot movement, sticks by the following definition:
More than five physically distinct postings with substantially identical content posted within a period of ten days.
The most reliable document describing current spam thresholds and guidelines is a draft FAQ posted weekly to news.admin.net-abuse.misc by Chris Lewis. It also describes the Breidbart Index (see below) in greater detail. That FAQ is not now available on the web at:
spam.abuse.net
It is important to note that some ISP's set different limits on what their users may or may not do, so if you try to push the envelope with the Briedbart Index it's still quite possible that you'll lose your account.

So after reading the above, my opinion is that the answer given to you by the person who allegedly reported you is BS.
... and as I suspected in the first instance...
Message 17424435
and as usual, Mencken always proves to be right... since you said you were happy to announce the re-birth of your thread... well you must have "touch" someone's string... -g
•Puritanism - The haunting fear that someone, somewhere may be happy.

Of course... let's not forget the contribution by the Fascists who control the "banned" button who certainly had to activate it, upon the request of one of their dupes.
I hope that the above helps you mitigate the pain of your already sore soul, remembering that you can always take the lighter side of things and just tell'em to stuff it.
For example.... Take the REAL creators of SPAM (notice the UPPER CASE).... here is their "position statement on "spamming"
spam.com
and the reference where I got it....
tuxedo.org
So there, in my eyes, you were NEVER the creator of a spamming action, rather you were the victim of the combination of an extremist blinded by his own zeal and the actions of fascist who were/are trigger happy on the execution button. (feeling they had to oblige their "famous" contributor.)
