This is the appropriate link and I received a message from wasleys saying that the reason was "inappropriate language"

It says that TestMagic does not condone cheating. Neither do I. In case, the mods haven't noticed, I contribute meaningful posts. That statement was meant to be a joke (pretty obvious there no?)and here are my reasons.

1. I have already given my GRE. I am a poor student and I cannot afford to give it again. Neither have I ever said that I am going to give my GRE again and everyone will surely agree that I am one of the most open posters and I give intricate details about the admissions process. I was joking with my friend GRE_K who made a very good point there.
2. The tone and construction of the sentence indicates it was a joke.
3. I have said here that I do not support cheating in any way.
4. This is being brought to my notice 1 month after the thread has been abandoned with a poster just reviving the thread today. (which is the reason I reckon why it was noticed)

I have no quarrel with anyone but I feel hurt by the fact that I get harsh language from a moderator. I have spoken to the mods on this forum via posts and threads. I adhere to all the rules and regulations posted here. I try and create a good collaborative atmosphere here.

I think that this is flying way off the hook. I would like to ask Erin or any of the moderators whether anyone suggested that that post was inappropriate. If anyone found it to be inappropriate, I am sorry for it. It was never meant to condone cheating.

I just want a fair explanation, thats all. Am I being made an example out of?
