Reason for ban: talking about donations for EXP boost in trade and offtopic
Your story:

I am making my first appeal on the matter of my muting in trade and offtopic. I was told I could get donations for EXP boosts recently so I posted in Trade. A Guide wearing his Guide Title (A name can be provided) then told me I had to move it to offtopic so that's what I did.I assumed, because he said I could continue in off topic, that it was legal.
Later Angyles told me I couldn't in Offtopic so I made a PE for a donation channel and stopped the talk of donations immediately. I got 214/3000 for the 200% Boost and got the 200% boost for the server anyway. More than half way into the boost Gabizou whispered me and said that I was muted in trade and offtopic. I told him I could refund the coins but I was just ignored.
I apologize for the misunderstanding, and please understand I had no intention to break any rules.

I can understand trying to get some sort of compensation from some of the members of the players online that are benefiting, but by asking for donations on a boost that you would buy anyway can be considered Real Money Trading for in game currency.

So without a warning I am no longer allowed to chat in Trade or Offtopic. This doesn't seem right.

A guide told you to stop advertising such advertisings. Ignorance of the rules is not our fault either. So yes, you were warned and the rules have always been available.
