Sorry but don't buy that ....
I've plastered stuff all over the message board looking for support for charitable causes ,in a similar fashion before and never been banned or had posts locked.
On most boards you have people re-posting topics or 'bump' ing them to the top of the boards to get people to notice them, similar to what has been posted on the topic of the 10k,without them being locked .
To lock a post from a bone fide user (Bakewell) who has not broken the AUP , just because they mention a banned user, is to my mind unacceptable and goes against the grain of any message board
Go on ban me ... dare you..cause you dont agree with me
