Warning from MOD
PLS, if you are reviewing an article/discussion, be so kind and provide us with WHAT is wrong.
Just sending me a warning is for nothing. I can not do it better if I do not understand what was wrong. Picture? Word? Link? Whatever else?
I have no mean to harm anyone, no offend anyone. I am not a native speaker so if I use some words in wrong way which have bad/evil/hate meaning in English, it is not an intention - pls, be so kind and tell me. I did not find any restrictions about pictures or links... to be clear.. I did not find any exact rules... expect general words like: be nice on ppl around and do not cheat.
How exactly do you expect, I will learn from this warning and correct my mistakes? 😅
After few consultations with my friends and their consultations with their friends I identified possibly problem in word Badassery - which is the name of the reported operation. This is translation from my native language suggested me from another not native speaker... but with better level of this language than I have. I have no idea how better translate word Machrovina from Czech language...
I was informed this word has bad connotation in English - it was not intention. On the opposite, a positive connotations was intended to be expressed.
But still - all it is a divination from a crystal ball... 😐️
Comments
As someone with a warning who was never told what the warning was for... I agree with the above!
Wouldn't it be nice if they're not that elusive...once in a while. 😅
Same here, no idea what I did, so no way to avoid doing it again!

I am not going to do "who cast the first stone" here, but if saying one bad word that is not even cussing caused so much distress to every single one of them, then I don't know what to say anymore.
As for respect, I had "plenty" of "respect" from my community. 20 people? That's too little. Guilt trip? Done. Duping? Done.
