That childish mod was me -- the guy who runs the site.
Your idea of spamming PHPB is not a new one. This is a help forum, not a free for all. Your footer is a place for you to advertise your product in exchange for helping them. If you run around posting pointless "me too" and "yeah, I agree" posts then I will ban you.
Done deal, non-negotiable. If you'd like advertisement without having to help others, then email me at the staff alias.
