I received an infraction in this thread which resulted in a 3 day ban for impoliteness for a posting which obviously was not impolite.

This is the content of what I actually wrote:

"This is what you should be looking for:

https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Codex-Orks-Softback-ENG"

Since the OP asked how he should expand his army, there is nothing inherently impolite about what I wrote. I offered a polite suggestion on how to expand his army. I even offered helpful links which would not only assist him in expanding his army, but would assist him in supporting GW.

I also wish to note the DOUBLE STANDARD applied in that thread. I quote casvalremdeikun from the same thread

"My gut instinct is to say with gasoline and a fire source..."

Since:

1. My posting was not impolite

and

2. The obviously more impolite posting was left intact/ignored by the same moderator:

I demand:

1. the reversal of the moderator actions taken.

2. the moderator in question receive swift and harsh discipline for a clear case of bias and abusing his authority.

I thank the moderation team in advance.

It was trolling and trolling is impolite.

If you're referring to the gasoline and fire joke, it would be important to remember that the poster followed that up with actual advice, something you didn't do.

I demand:

And here's where you again fail to understand how this whole thing works: you aren't entitled to demand anything on this forum.

1. the reversal of the moderator actions taken.

2. the moderator in question receive swift and harsh discipline for a clear case of bias and abusing his authority.

I thank the moderation team in advance.

None of those things will happen, but good luck nonetheless.

It's impolite to offer helpful advice directly relevant to the OP and back up that advice with helpful links?

Go figure.

If you, the OP or anyone else does not wish to follow up on that advice, then that's your prerogative. But there's nothing impolite about what I said.

ScootyPuffJunior has explained it all very nicely so I am locking this thread.
