That is my understanding. Admins [plural] have been cited in this thread, so if any violations were made, the thread would have been locked.
Anything beyond that is really all just "personality clashes" and one set of rules attempted to be forced upon a subset of "liked contributions" and a different set of rules attempted to be forced upon a subset of "disliked contributions".
Strictly speaking as a third-party. I'm not a fan of these types of programs, but as far as I can tell, you didn't do anything at all different than other members here have done in the past.
You are a fan of something not hosted here, and you came here to discuss with your MSFN Family.
Personally, in my opinion, things like "extended kernels" have always been a very fine line. To the best of my knowledged, MSFN has never allowed direct links to their downloads as they violate MICROSOFT licensing terms.
Admins have the last word, of course.
