I'd like to promote the statement made earlier that perhaps he never read the PM's or knew he had them? I think maybe the staff should have used the e-mail account he listed here when he registered or tried to IM him before giving Danchastu the boot. I too, had an animal crossing picture in my signature for about a day but I have it in my user preference to open a new window notifying me when I have a new PM so I received 2 PM's asking me to remove it due to size restrictions. If it weren't for that, would I have been banned? Hopefully someone would have tried to communicate with me through some other form. But I don't know the whole story and perhaps Danchastu refused to take it out or something?
Add on: Then again, there is a sticky right here in the general board regarding the signature size allowance and it's pretty self explanatory so...
