I think that what Admin is suggesting is that you could perhaps have been a tad bit more polite in your PM's.

Perhaps something like:
Just saying if an autograph is authentic or not really doesn't really provide any constructive feedback for the individual. If you explain how and why you came to the conclusion that it was authentic, then the person is much more likely to believe it. If you explain your reasoning it can also help others improve, etc.

Please read the rules on giving opinions in this forum. If you dont give reasoning, posts are deleted - as yours has been. Thanks.
The rules for the Is My Autograph Authentic? Forum state that reasoning/proof should be given. You are of course entitled to your opinion, however we do ask that you let others know how you came to that conclusion, thus the need for reasoning/proof. If you simply post that it's authentic, then most if not all are going to wonder why or how. If you include evidence of your reasoning then that would answer many of those questions...

Has this user caused problems before? I do think that if you kindly PM them asking them to edit their post with proof/reasoning, then we could avoid a lot of this fiasco. I always think of warnings/banning, etc. as a last resort, only if PM's and other means of communication have failed. Remember that as a Moderator, you are intended to be patient with other members. Don't let their comments get to you. Even if they are screaming at you in PM's, that still does not give you the opportunity to yell at them back. As a staff member on this site, you were chosen because we believed that you were "mature" enough.
Don't be so blunt in your comments.
