That blog post I wrote got me banned from a gardening forum for 3 days

I posted about how I used neem oil on my tomato plants during a heatwave and it fried half the leaves. The mods said I was giving dangerous advice without a disclaimer, but I was just sharing what happened to me. Has anyone else gotten hit with a temp ban for posting honest experiences?

That's the thing about sharing real experiences online, everyone wants the sanitized version but nobody wants to admit failure is part of learning. Mods treat honest stories like they're giving bad advice when really it's just someone being open about what went wrong. These forums have turned into places where you can only post perfect wins, and that's not how actual gardening works.

Did those mods actually give a reason why your post got pulled?
