Got the boot from a gardening forum for posting a picture of my 'invasive' mint

Back in 2015, I was so proud of my mint patch. Posted a photo on GreenThumbs. Got a warning. Kept posting about how well it spread. Permanent ban a week later. The mod's final message was 'You are literally teaching people how to create a yard problem.' Never crossed my mind before that. Anyone else get banned for trying to be helpful?

Did you ever get your mint under control?

Tried putting it in a big pot sunk into the ground. That finally stopped it from running wild.

Actually, I've given up and let it take over the yard. It smells amazing out there now.
