What exactly happens when a moderator restricts the account for AUP?

Hey everyone,

I was reading over some older PMs here. What exactly happens when a Super Moderator on this forum says I can post in public discussion along the lines with AUP, WebMedia? Does this mean I have some sort of restriction on my account that will never be lifter? Or does it mean it was left in PM? The Moderator hasn't been on here since 2010.

I want to post in the C programming section, so I can learn C.

At the bottom of the page there's the Acceptable Use Policy link ...

These are the rules to follow if you want to post on the forums...

Break these rules and you will be banned from the forum...
