A proper warning would have been nice

I have an inkling how this thread is going to end, it is either going to resort to flaming and be moved to flame wars, or this and a bunch of possible similar threads are going to be merged into one and eventually locked and owenshooter will be used as a scapegoat for his "constant annoying Pms."
However, I would like to redress my grievances, so yesterday I log in to hotmail, with an email in my account saying: Disciplinary Measures. Wondering, what I could have done, I open the e-mail with a bit of suspicion, however with alarm this is what I read:
"Hello nagerous,
Your account has been issued a Forum Ban, which prevents posting in the forum and accessing private messages.
Term of ban: 24 hours

Good day to you.
Owenshooter, the leader of the Bandits, has requested that his image be considered personal information and thus removed based on warnings given in previous threads. Because a warning was given here: viewtopic.php?p=1773062#p1773062 that your sig banner would be considered in the same way, and owen continued to push for this to be used as the standard, we are hereby placing all members using this banner on a 24 hour forum vacation, as per Owen's wishes, as stated here: viewtopic.php?f=239&t=74210
Please remove any personal images or information from your signature as soon as you return.
Yes, this is petty, but you may want to tell Owen that he should be careful how much he trolls the mods. Annoying and pestering to push your own agenda is never a good move.
Enjoy your time off
Regards,
The Conquer Club"
So, it appears I was banned for a period of 24 hours, for having a signature with pictures in it that I have had for over 6 months now with nothing told to me that I could not do this. Twill says in this email that he gave a prior warning, I do not call that a prior warning, I had not even read that thread before, as I saw the situation as nothing to do with me and instead a problem between DaGip and one of my clanmembers Owenshooter. Owenshooter had claimed that DaGip was using his picture unauthorised, all the bandits who had the sig and all the pictures in it had been given authorisation. If Twill wanted me to take down my signature, he could have just PMed me like a normal decent human being and I would have done so immediately, like I have done already. Not just given me a sudden ban straight away. During these 24 hours, I couldn't access important Pms and I also, couldn't post in my mafia games, which one of them was crucial to the game setup that I should have had to post as I now missed the lynch.
If I had done something wrong, I would have understood the ban, but banning me and a bunch of other CC members for 24 hours, the majority of them who have clean records and no prior infractions on the website just seems like completely the wrong idea, without a PM warning for a signature that has been branded across the whole forums for over 6 months seems completely wrong. I don't mean to sound whining but I just feel like the CC administration has committed yet another abuse of it's power against people it doesn't like and I was made a scapegoat.
