[WikiEN-l] I was blocked for an unexisting policy

[STEFAN CLAUDIU TIULEA]

I posted this 4 days ago, which is why I sent three
different emails. The auto-reply said that I should
give it 12-hours, which I first did, and then I tried
again. I still don't agree with the ruling. In my
eyes, I didn't break any existing Wiki rules, and I
don't like when admins start to interpret the rules
and enforce them; and I also don't think that I should
have to justify something that did not break the
rules. But whatever. I know you guys will never
understand.
