Tom and I have spent some time discussing it and he agrees that he was not clear in his guidance. Because of that, I am reversing the warning for Damuri Ajashi.

This does not mean that we wish posters to consider ‘I didn’t understand it so it shouldn’t count’ as an overall viable approach to getting around moderation. Such has a low probability of having a positive outcome and I’d advise against it.
