If you have 'spammed' the introductions section, your posts were most likely deleted by a staff member.
Read the rules here: https://www.blackhatworld.com/help/terms/ (focus on the 'post count inflation' part).
As well as the newbie guide from here: https://www.blackhatworld.com/forums/newbie-guide.242/
Have a great stay!

Certain areas do not increase post count as @Natasha Shea mentioned such as the Lounge area.
With that in mind, you have 7 posts
With 1 in Members Download only
And that's a "Thanks for Sharing" comment, you are lucky that didn't get removed either lol.
So yes, you have been blackblacked, you are forever on @Mrnewbie 's hit list.

You spammed the introduction subforum and those spam posts were removed.

If you don't stop spamming to increase your post count you can even get 'grey-balled'.
Go through the newbie guide and rules to avoid that in the future : https://www.blackhatworld.com/forums/newbie-guide.242/

I still don't consider what I did spamming, though I know now not to anymore. Also funny to me that me leaving a 'Thanks for posting' comment on the WP Rocket post that did benefit me was considered spam also, are we not supposed to leave thanks on posts that benefit us or just leech.

Read https://www.blackhatworld.com/help/terms/, which states "3.5 Engaging in post count inflation by posting excessive amounts of short replies for the sole purpose of inflating your post count. This includes the infamous “thanks for the share.” (If you’d like to say “thanks” to someone for their effort/contribution, make use of the Like button)".
Anyways, we were all new to the forum at some point of time, and even till today not everyone is alert about all rules all the time (as we are human), and that is why BHW has the https://support.blackhatworld.com/support/home?_gl=1*1txb8y*_ga*NzI1Nzg4OTc2LjE2NjQ2MzE1NDc.*_ga_VH2PZEKYEE*MTY4OTc5NTgxNi43MDYuMS4xNjg5Nzk4MTk3LjMwLjAuMA.. section / portal (link at the bottom of all pages of BHW), so that we can always refer to various rules or questions that we may have, on an ongoing basis.
