The 7 day ban is to deter spam replies. The reason it's a "big deal" is as we scan scan for suspect posts we look at a variety of things to include who posted last in the thread. If a 'known' member replies it does a couple of things: 1) If the spammer reads the reply it reinforces his/her efforts were worthwhile, somebody read it. 2) The 'known member' reply adds legitimacy to the post and makes it harder to spot. We are volunteers and as much as we love T4R's and the board, we don't have the time or will to read every post.
That's my take on it, not Greg's or any of the other mods, I'll let them chime in. I assure you that's the concept.
I also agree some note or re-wording in the forum rules wouldn't hurt. I'll pitch for that and we'll see if it happens.
In the meantime enjoy and don't reply to the spam
