Dear mod/admin,

I am writing in to remove my 3 points.


You have received a warning with 3 infraction points for the offending post:
Woman falls into 8m deep sinkhole in KL, SAR op ongoing
throw water melons?

Warning reason: Forum Nuisance (Trolling / Posting Rubbish / Troublemaker / etc.) - Trolling

My explanation: The woman dropped into the sink hole and someone earlier asked to perform a ritual.
So i said throw water melon as it is used to find drown victim in Taoist ritual.
Recent 周公讲鬼 drama also show a tao priest throwing water melon to find/calm drown victim.

So what was the reason for this 3 points when it is a real fact? Cannot talk about rituals here?

Is that a fact? You assume everybody knows this ritual.

The way you put it on your post sounded very insensitive.

If the victim was a Muslim, I would say this was an offensive remark.

It is a common ritual and I will not know if the victim is muslim or not.
it was a question or suggestion that i wrote in the hope of finding the victim.

If i pray to my god that to find the victim, is it offensive to other religion(assuming victim not same religion)?
which part is insensitive since the fruit is always throw in to the water?

Checked on the post. As far as we are concerned, it is certainly not a common ritual or practice to throw water melons into pits to help locate missing persons. There are users of different races, nationalities, and religions on HWZ Forums. Let's be more sensitive towards others when posting your comments.

Thank you for your cooperation and have a good day. :)
