Well I can see how your taking your love of Garbage a bit too far, but with that being said the people that told you to shut up were being board Nazis. Sure it's poor internet forum ethic to talk about one topic and one topic only on a forum unrelated to that topic, but with that being said they should not stop you from posting none spam and none offensive threads about any topic. There is such a thing as free speech. If someone started 30 topics about The Sims in the pop culture section, I wouldn't tell them to stop. I would simply ignore them.
Board Nazi's are never a good thing. They do way more harm than good.

I just took a look at the rules for the mod the sims forum. Their rules include:
They might as well rename the off topic forum the "pregnancy, death, and movies(depends)" forum. Those rules are really restrictive and kind of defeat the purpose of having the off topic forum. But those are their rules and they must be respected.

In my experience Sims forums are the absolute best at having board nazis. I am not trying to be mean, I love the sims and all that but I quit posting on sims boards simply because it turns into these ridiculous flame wars and incredibly strict rules when it comes to posting.

I was banned from FineTunedMac just for talking in Italian! Here's what the message said. "Your account has been banned or locked. This is a permanent ban. If the Administrator has specified a reason for this ban, you will find it below.
troublemaker" I don't want to say this, so I will say it in Italian: Cyn è una cagna, niente di più. Cazzo, ha vietato a me solo per parlare in questo modo!

Well not to side with the other board, but that would be like me coming in here and talking about Britney Spears. It's good to show your appreciation for someone through your signature, but posting about it over and over gets very repetitive. They are a bit of board Nazi's, but to each their own.
Stick with boards related to your subject. I joined a forum YEARS ago and talked about my love for Garbage. Needless to say I got banned pretty quickly. Stick with music/Garbage related forums. You'll get a better result.

Unfortunetly you are pegged as "The Garbage Guy" on those forums. So no matter what you say you will be named that. You kind of have a reputation there now as that.

They might think you are saying something bad. Unless the board has an area for you to post in other languages. It's probably not a good idea to do that.

No offense, but I can see what they are saying. We all love Garbage (that's why we are here), but talking about any one subject on a board that is not about that subject to the extent that you are talking about Garbage is realllllly annoying. Since the boards you are on (Mac and Sims) have absolutely nothing to do with Garbage (not even music...), then it's probably wise to keep all of your comments in one thread. People who are interested in hearing about/talking about Garbage will then click on that thread. If you want to have multiple Garbage topics (but please don't spam), then post here. This IS a Garbage forum.
Oh, and interesting YouTube videos you have there...

It can be on a Garbage related forum, but not on a forum with a different subject. You just have to cool down with the whole Garbage thing on other forums and maybe keep them in one thread like someone said here. It just depends on your attitude and how well you diverse with them about it. Getting all defensive on there won't help you, ESPECIALLY if you try to speak another language to them (not a good idea if someone knows what you said). Just be cool about it, maybe even talk about something un-related to Garbage and maybe they will take you seriously. Otherwise you pushing Garbage (no pun intended) down their thoats will only backfire at you.

You mentioned more than one forum, so perhaps follow his advice on THAT forum and then if you are unbanned, follow it on this forum as well. There's a reason you were banned, and just because you are banned doesn't mean you should carry on the same behavior on other websites.

Yeah, really *we* all love Garbage, and know though that they're the freaking best, but not everyone is a fan. It goes with anything really. Like talking about pots on a kettles forum, y'know? If someone came here and started raving on about Nickelback I'd kick their asses. Lol.

I got unbanned from FineTunedMac last night. After the admin who banned me made me promise all of this stupid crap in an email!

Again, just keep cool about anything Garbage related at that forum. You can do anything Garbage related here, no questions or insults (just don't spam). It's good to spread the word around, but not over-doing it.

When the Admin started getting mean about it, alot of other members were like "you just think the discussion of Garbage is distasteful!"

Honestly I would tell you to shut up also. Then again I am one of those people who gets tired of (mostly younger) garbage fans trying to FIND or MAKE garbage references to or in everything. I think thats about the most PC way I could put it.
