So, the main topic stating that vegy was banned got locked after a few days without many people realizing the rule change. Since the rule was so new the mods were just locking the topics instead of modding them. There were even some days older 'vegy is banned' topics that had no action taken on them.
So, when the main 'vegy is banned' topic got locked people were making topics about that getting locked then those topics were getting locked. On top of that I started bumping every single topic mentioning the vegy ban or mentioning vegy at all. All of those topics got locked after I bumped them. Then I started bumping all the topics that even had the word veg in them. All those topics got locked too. At this point the whole locking thing had become a big deal that everyone noticed and everyone was making topics about it which were all getting locked as well.
At that point essentially the entire first page (50 topics per page) was locked topics about the Vegy situation or any topic with the word 'veg' in it.
Then when normal non-locked topics started to take back over the first page I started bumping old Vegy topics from before he was banned. It was at that point that I got warned for board invasion.
The mods turned something that would have blown over into a huge scandal because they had to use a heavy hand. They should have just let the 1 original topic be.
