So who's that admin who changed my signature deleting the link to my youtube channel and putting a "warning" there in red lettering saying I can't post links to another website or products or companies that aren't a sponsor and saying it's my last warning WITHOUT sending me a private message regarding it? What is wrong with a member posting a link to their youtube channel in their signature?

I was not involved with your issue, so I cannot comment about what happened because I did not see what your signature said before the editing. But here is a link to forum rules -

It sounds to me as though your warning was issued via the edited signature, which removed the link.

I am not an admin , but if you private message me the link that you had posted in you sig, I may be able to shed some light as to why it was removed.

I removed your link and gave you the warning. I didn't PM you because the warning in your sig was your warning.

It is perfectly fine to post a link to your youtube channel , provided it is in a thread, pertinent topic or general " check out my ride " type of post.
How ever linking it permanently to your sig is a violation of rule #7
" 7. No promotions of other related sites. There is no problem with occasionally using the name of other sites or even posting a link to a pertinent thread from another site, but repeatedly referring to other related sites is considered "SPAM" and is not allowed. Please have the decency of NOT putting links to them in your signature, profile or have a post, PM or Chat telling our members to come over to another related site. Such activity is ground for removal from signature, and repeated offenses are grounds for being banned. "
Your sig violated this rule.
Had you read the rules you would have known that .
