If you read them as you said then it seems you openly violated them as well.

Not as far as I'm aware. The following rules are the relevant ones:

No discussions about financial transactions except for the buying, selling, or trading of official retail media. All For Sale/For Trade/Wanting To Buy posts belong in the buying/selling/trading forum.

No profiting from any activities related to fan edits or preservation efforts. Those found selling their fan edits or preservation projects here or elsewhere will be banned.

Use of the Service. [...] For example, you may not do any of the following: use the Service to sell a product or service; [...]

There is to be no profiting from any activities related to fan edits or preservation efforts. Those found selling their fan edits or preservation projects here or elsewhere will be banned - no exceptions, no excuses.

I've made no attempt to profit from my preservation project. In my previous posts, I whimsically joked about how nice it would be if I could, but that's as far as it went. What's more, my preservation project is nonexistent as of this writing. I haven't even found everything I need to get it off the ground.

I'm really not sure why you're picking on the new guy and seem to lack a sense of humor, but if I've really violated any forum rules, then the powers that be are free to give me a warning or edit my previous comments. I don't think they really need someone acting as a backseat moderator.
