Sorry - I don’t really have time to read everything that people post about how their situations are unfair after they are completely responsible for their situations.
This is the main reason this analystforum is not as useful as it could be…..
Too many people whining and looking for empathy from other folks that are more responsible.

Thanks for proving my point. You didn’t read it so you don’t know what’s going on. Definitely NOT whining or looking for empathy, but I can see why you may think that considering you did not read everything.
I should have expected trolls when posting this. I was asking for everyone’s thoughts. If I were to have presented a lie or exaggeration then ALL advice and opinions given to me would be useless as they would have been based on a false narrative.

Take CFAI’s offer and call it a day and move on. If you go through life worrying about what everyone else thinks of you then you will go no where. If they cleared up the comments in the “security guards” notes to remove the INTENT then what will that do? How will that improve anything? Short answer, it wont. It will only make YOU feel better. YOU already know you did not do it intentionally so what will an eraser taken to a piece of paper do? Nothing.
My take on this, and I READ all your comments on here. You got some bad guidance from a proctor/sec guard. Who cares. In the end CFAI has policies and procedures clearly documented on the Website. You should have checked yourself like everyone else does. You already know your mistake as you said and take responsibility for it so move on. One sentence on a piece of paper that no one will ever see again will not do anything.

Wise words. Thank you for your input.

TL;DR
Are you wishing the proctors at check-in had taken the calculator away from you? How were you going to pass the exam without a calculator? Take the private reprimand. You were re-writing next year either way. And don’t get reprimanded again.
