    As the former moderator, I would suspect that someone reported it as "content unrelated to /r/fountainpens" due to it being a dip nib with an unidentified ink. Odd that you didn't get a response clarifying the reason.

    I would just resubmit and put the ink name in the title. e.g. "Cluedo - found in the study. Diamine Writer's Blood" or whatever the ink is.

    Bit of a passive aggressive tone there that is not 'obviously' correct. There's only so many mods for a high traffic site (much faster pace than here) and some of us do have full time jobs that we don't always check the modmail or assume that someone else got to it.

    It's mentioned in the rules, so being snippy about mods trying to stay on top of compounding posts and comment reports showing up doesn't help.

    Maybe don't make such aggressive assumptions, it's quite baiting and doesn't help you any.

    It's really, really disappointing to witness just how often people twist what others write in order to have a pop. I consider it agenda driven. How about pausing a moment to actually consider what was written and why, before jumping in with hair all a-fizz..
    Read back your own advice, that is all.

    Take few more breaths. and hold it for few more seconds and release it. Keeping your eyes close will help to cut of other mind talkings ...

    Well, that is the Internet for you, unfortunately.

    It is also why legalizing marijuana is so important. If people were more stoned in real life, they would be less snarky on forums. Did Cheech and Chong ever go online and be pissy?
