I know there's been rants about pinstack here before, so I'm adding another to the pile.

Now as many of you know I recently opened BBeXtras.com to sell themes that are more intricate than those produced by default in theme builder. I still use theme builder but with an addition. Naturally this has created various interest on many BB sites including pinstack.
Now at first there was one topic which was various users discussing the themes and their opinions. Somewhere through that one user suggested that I as just selling themes that were going to be released from RIM soon. I laughed and dismissed it.
A few more topics appeared and again the same user weighed in, essentially telling anyone who was interested in my business not to buy anything because it is all just RIM made work for sale (nevermind the fact that I'd be out of a job and facing legal problems were this the case). So I began to pay a little more attention, and noticed that this individual was a moderator. Still I said nothing
Finally another thread in which this mod stated that not only was I selling RIM software, but that I as using a beta of Theme Builder to do so and that I was a waste of money. This got me typing. I laid out my case in a lengthy (but in no way rude) post - asking the obvious wouldn't I be fired? wouldn't I have legal issues? questions - and offering that anyone who wanted to check the cod files they'd bought could see that thy were made in TB 4.2.2.
A short time later my post disappeared, with no explanation. So I posted asking if this was how this mod dealt with challenges to them, rather than providing proof.
That got someone's attention, as I was quickly issued a warning for "insulting other members" (which at NO point did I do, though I was mistaken about who removed it) with this comment

To date it has not been "approved" after over 12 hours. And I have no way to PM anyone about it, since I don't have 10 posts there.

So honestly, is pinstack this ridiculous? They need to "approve" a post from someone defending their business against one of their own mods who seems intent on spreading lies about it? Has anyone else experienced insane warnings like this?

What's up with pinstack? -
