However, since you ''did'' respond before the end of your deadline, you get a chance. But it's your last chance. When you get advice, either on this page or elsewhere (like comments on edits made to your contributions), we want you to acknowledge the advice and do your best to not make the mistakes in the future. You are not required to start off by writing letter-perfect text, and if you don't understand why we ask something or suggest something, you are welcome to ask for clarification or explanations.

No more attempts to get your attention, no more patience with your gameplaying. I trust you understand.
