you are right, in addition, i think he should wait until he comes online and definitely he/she will receive notification through quotes and respond to people. And secondly pm is the easiest form to reach him very fast to address the issue of removing the tag.
I've been busy in the last few days and it's kept me from actively posting and using the forum, but I've read the pm from HEWRA and some other mention of my negative tag on it.
I've removed it now because I think it's justifiable considering this user is no longer using signature and avatar from scam campaign. But I really regret his act of deliberately applying and not doing research on the campaign he will promote, his regret really doesn't make sense even though in the end I've removed the tag. I don't expect some other people after this to complain about the same reason, they should legitimately get negative tag even if accepted or not in campaign because basically they consciously want to earn few dollar by submitting application on campaign.
