Estoppel Suspensions
276 Answers
We've just suspended 13 members who decided to post nonsense in a thread in Law.
I'm making this post as it will hopefully cut down on the number of indignant emails we get... It's a bit of a special case as it's a large number of members and many of them are long serving and much liked members.
I shouldn't have to say this - but there's only one place for nonsense, and that's Chatterbank.
In Law heads roll when you muck about.
But you know that already...
Here is the thread:

Users were suspended for passing judgement, spamming nonsense, being rude, counting the number of answers in hope of getting to whateverhundred, posting irrelevant answers, encouraging irrelevant answers, and generally taking the piss.
Some of these users also gave good answers and then went of the rails. It makes it a little sadder than restraint couldn't have been shown on their part.
I know it's easy to get swept up in a bit of playground bullying.
But they weren't in a playground.
I know sometimes those asking questions can be frustrating, but the lack of empathy and compassion was stunning. If you don't like something, please just avoid posting on it... I have no idea why this isn't obvious.
Apologies to the rest of you - you're probably as bored of this kind of behaviour as I am, and would prefer to not read any more about it.
All the best,
Ab Editor.
PS. I don't care if it's "unfair" in any way. Thanks.

It’s not very often that I stick my head above the parapet but on this occasion I must do so. Firstly, I accept I did post some fairly intemperate replies to the OP on the estoppel thread – for that I apologise. Yes I was losing my rag and yes I probably shouldn’t have done so. Secondly, when posters go to the Law section I am generally appalled with what they...

The posts you can see as removed were reported/ taken off as the thread progressed, by the look of it, so we've no idea who those people were - but I've just clicked on some of the jelly men near the end of the thread, and as jno says, you can see then who's still active or not. Threads don't disappear from suspended people, only banned or removed, as I understand it?
As I understand it - if a single answer is removed because it gives offence or whatever, it goes altogether, avatar and all.
If someone is suspended, their threads stay (after all, they may be reinstated at a later date) - but their avatars turn to jelly - assuming they had a picture in the first place.
If someone's banned, the whole lot vanishes, history 'n'all.
Perhaps someone can confirm this?
