Dude, this conversation ended when your thread was closed. We get it: you thought you had permission. BUT, you still broke the rules. Point blank period. I know it's frustrating to get punished for something you didn't know wasn't okay. At the end of the day, however, the person who gave you permission (which we still have no confirmation on whether they did or did not, it is merely hearsay) had no authority whatsoever to give you that permission. 
Give it up, my guy.
