Brb, adding "[Admin]Sterlin" to my characters field so I can post in sanction threads.

That would have been me. Stop giving Garrett a hard time.

Yes, otherwise I would not have hidden the post. There is no personal vendetta being exercised against you or your faction. It was a misunderstanding, because as Sabre, Lyth and Echo have pointed out, presentation matters a lot.
I hid your post after it was reported by a member of the community who I thought was involved in the situation. It turns out that was not the case, they were merely trying to help out, and had come to the same conclusion that I did when I saw your post. I intended to send you a PM about it, but that must have slipped my mind. I apologize for that.
Here are some suggestions on how you can help me avoid making a similar mistake in the future:
Pay a bit more attention to the formatting, capitalization and punctuation of your posts. This not only helps their credibility, it also makes them a lot more pleasant to read. Some may even consider them more immersive. Posts that lack any formatting are commonly seen as a trademark of inexperienced players. As petty as you may think that sounds, my experience tells me that the average user will not take your posts seriously unless you take this into account. Disco is full of elitists, after all.
If for some reason you feel more comfortable with your old style of posting, you could consider adding an ooRP comment whenever you barge in on a conversation, that clarifies you're allowed to be there. Alternatively, it really helps to put something in that Server Factions/Characters field of your profile, so I don't have to dig through your post history in order to determine what factions you are and aren't part of.
when i get a PC that will run long enough without crashing out i will be sure to resume my usual tidy posts (ive had 2 die on me leaving me on a very beaten up old lappy with one leg)
as USIs new administration completes the re-branding exercise, then sigs and bars will happen
but thank you for taking note of our issues regarding communication
we do appreciate your time effort and care. everyone.
above all we appreciate your communications, even the unpalatable ones (for some).
