I'd understand giving out warnings and whatnot, but they definitely need to make sure they don't just wipe people's previous posts UNLESS they are just clearly spamming like the scam/spam junk we get occasionally. The rules need to be cleared up as well, I didn't realize they were so vague as you pointed out. I'm not sure if it'd be possible to restore your posts and replies that were removed, that really is a shame. I hadn't heard of people actually being punished on this forum, deserved or not, outside of the spam nonsense. I don't think you're overreacting, bringing attention to it now is the only way things can really improve, I'm glad you did so.
