Suspended for Otter Nonsense

[Joven]

I've been posting on these forums off and on since I joined in 2013 and not once have I ever been suspended or even reprimanded for anything I've posted. That is until a few days ago. I just got off a temporary suspension and I have no clue as to what it is I was suspended for. All I got was a notification when I tried to log in that I was temporarily suspended for violating the ToS.

I don't know if they send out an email explaining the reason for the suspension since I lost access to the email address attached to my account and just recently updated it. It would be nice to know what exactly I did wrong so I could avoid repeating it if possible.

The only thread I was posting on up to the suspension started out as someone complaining about the use of 'cancer' as a derogatory term for a person's performance when really they were trying to vilify their former FC for whatever reason. After the truth of the situation came out someone decided to try and lighten the mood and turn the thread into posts about otters.

When I saw that I thought that it would be fun and decided to participate. All I did was post otter memes and occasionally discuss the topic of the thread. Nothing I posted was any different from anything else I've ever posted on here aside from an abundance of otters, so I don't know what prompted a suspension.

It was obvious that a mod was monitoring the thread because a few posts disappeared (ironically mostly from the OP themselves plus a few otter pics) so I don't think it would have been too unreasonable for them to post something along the lines of "X members are particiating in Y violation of the ToS and Z actions will be taken if this continues.", but what do I know, I'm not a mod ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

All in all I'm not upset by this, just a little disappointed. The only reason I'm making this post is to possibly glean some insight into this and perhaps vie for more transparency regarding suspensions.
