I’m not sure what you think the Pit is, but it’s not a place where you can go to ignore a direct instruction from the moderation staff. You were told:

> [@Kudos To Elton John](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kudos-to-elton-john/963951/9):
>
> Please do not post again about gay characteristics, gay sexuality, gay celebrities or any other aspect of gayness or sex in general, on penalty of having your posting privileges suspended or revoked.

This is you not following those instructions:

> Something has clearly changed on these boards, especially since I joined over twenty years ago. Back then, if I brought up something like the [DES/Lesbianism](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/diethylstilbestrol-and-lesbianism/955508/46) thing, I would be applauded.

This is a formal warning for ignoring moderator instructions.
