    your infraction is for posting:

    "the method seems interesting..i will be watch the thread"

    You're not supposed to post in a sales thread that you're not participating, whether as a buyer or seller. Your post adds nothing to the thread, so whether bumping or inappropriate post, it's still an infraction.

    If you bought a product or a service, and you posted something positive or negative about that in the thread, then it would likely be something others would be interested in, and maybe some would consider the feedback before buying or not buying. It adds value to the thread because you have provided others relevant information about the product or service.

    Nobody cares that you have publicly announced your interest in something...

    PS: if it makes you feel better, the moderator cleared all of the irrelevant posts in that thread.

    Also, if you want to track a thread, you can just use the thread subscription option. No need to post you are interested in a thread.
