Banned by posting a sourceforge link

[altaccount99]

Hi, my account is octpos, and I had been banned for posting a sourceforge repository link. Some user said something about a paid tool he can't use, so I just posted a link to an open source tool repository, on sourceforge...

I didn't know that I can't post *any* external link (though it was just for download links ), now I know that, but I'm banned for a week .

Well, I know that I crossed a rule, it will not happen again.. But I didn't do it intentionally, I naively though it was okay to post an open source repository link... So, I really need to wait 7 days until my ban can be lifted?

P.S: I'm not evading my ban by using this account :}, I added some mods on skype but no one is online or accepted my contact. This account here can be deleted after some mod sees this thread

Thanks

The link you provided had a download option on it for a file.
Usually if you post an outside download link, it is a permanent ban, however, I like to give users a second chance.
If you wish to link users to something, you can upload the file as an attachment, and someone will have it looked over.
Ban will stay.
