I got this PM from a mod saying: "Don't. Even. Start. Did you not learn your last lesson? I don't care if you are joking, or thought it was funny. Don't do it again."
As mentioned in above post, I didn't even know this person is a mod as well as not having any idea what he was talking about.
Upon going through my latest replies, I realized that the mod deleted my comment along with giving a week of vacation.

The problems are:

1. I didn't even know I was given a vacation.

2. Wouldn't it work better if you guys tell the user what he had done wrong so that he won't be making same mistakes again?

-There were 3 ways you were notified. PM, Mod Edit, and the fact you could not post for a week.

2. Wouldn't it work better if you guys tell the user what he had done wrong so that he won't be making same mistakes again?
-Your post was blatantly against the rules. You knew it when you posted; expecialy since you quoted the forum administrator stating the rule that you violated in your post. However I felt the need to tell you in PM anyway. However looking though my PM's I sent it though my normal account instead of the Moderator account which may have lead to some confusion on your part. I apologize for that.
