It appears that the bans are over.
I just posted a couple of times in places where I wasn't allowed before.
Maybe it's a glitch and they'll catch up to us sooner or later! Until then, I'll be curious to see how my sales/views/visits increase as a result of the uptick in visibility.
I know that before I was banned, I got 90% of my views from other etsy members and always had a significant increase right after I posted something in the main forums. If that continues now, great. Maybe it'll mean even more sales.
