Seriously. I guess I have to turn myself in for playing the bass guitar and wanting people to hear my playing.

Or get their permission. My neighbors have encouraged me to open my windows and play as late as I like. You just need their permission, and it's all good. Much harder if you're in an apartment though.

One of the perks about being mainly a classical musician is that often neighbors don't mind your practicing and some actually enjoy it as they go to sleep. Though, as a classical guitarist I don't make too much noise. When I used to live in a dormitory and practice late, people would come to me and tell me that my playing helped them sleep which in hindsight probably isn't much of a compliment. I don't want people to come see me perform and be put to sleep :D

Living in the dorms was the best free publicity I ever got as a musician. People heard me play, I got my name out, and all of a sudden had students and money from lessons.

Yes it is. I just said "listen to me playing a Motorhead song on bass" and they moderated me for "Illegal Activities".

How COULD anyone know what you're talking about? Your OP was so vague we aren't able to tell what the hell is going on.... either make a thread that makes sense, or don't make one at all.

Maybe it was so bad it was classed as an assault on our ears?

We've all got our share of weird moderations. Just ask the mods for an explanation.

Playing classical piano is different from hard rock bass. :P Mind, my dad does enjoy listening to me play hair metal guitar. :?

Shouldn't this be asked in Ask the Mods? They might tell you what warranted it.

Hmmm... what a coincidence. We have the same signature.Only you can click on mine and see the full-size one.

And yes, playing the bass guitar is a federal offense punishable by 0 years in jail and a fine of $0.
