I posted an affiliate linked event.

I apologize. Didn't RTFD. Which I should have. But not surprised since I do in fact have ADHD and am impulsive.

I agree this was a bad call, I should not have posted this on my admin account. I didn't know I had GOD powers. Eeek.

I thought it was more informative than spam.

Again, I am really sorry.

I will get better at RTFD'ing.

What I'm hearing is "I did a bad thing but I have ADHD and I said sorry so it's a whoopsie that shouldn't affect me" but without a genuine apology. Blaming the namesake of this space and "impulsivity" shows nothing but immaturity imo. We get it. You like money. You don't like being called out. Maybe, don't abuse the rules and you won't get called out?

OP made one mistake and apologized. I think we should give them the benefit of the doubt here.

I'm down for the apology. It just lost all impact when OP immediately follows up by blaming ADHD and impulsively. That's exceptionally uncool considering the community that was affected. The sarcasm is also problematic especially considering the level of authority that was abused here. The post couldnt be removed by the exact people who are supposed to be able to remove content when needed. To take the attitude of "big deal, so scary" compounds my suspicion of immaturity and is not encouraging to see in an administrator.

I was just making light of the fact that I do have ADHD and didn't think. I made a mistake. ADHD Or not.

A bit harsh for one mistake. Geez. All I can do is say sorry. Just thought it was a great event. Shouldn't have posted it with the affiliate link. Geez.

Aw geez yeah man eek. Like, such a bummer it broke the rules and couldn't be removed because you accidently locked it to the page. Idk it doesn't sound like you give a shit, which is a problem for an admin.
