I’m sorry - we had to remove your post because you didn’t choose the correct flair out of a possible 3,000 esoteric choices, you didn’t format your post title according to the instructions located on a stone carving in the British Museum, your image had an even number of pixels, and/or you haven’t provided verification pics, a notarized letter, and three character references to our mod team. Please do not try again and have a good day [this action was performed by a bot]
