Your user page
I have blanked your user page as inappropriate advertisement. For what is allowed on user pages, see our guidelines. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  12:51, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

I asked a question for a reason, I didn't know if what I suggested was acceptable or not. The sarcastic, patronising reply is a little over the top. As well as blanking, blocking, or similar. Great way to welcome a new user. Thanks, not.

Talkback: you've got messages!
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you.  Admr Boltz  15:13, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
