Banned Question

[Dudley]

Can anyone (preferrably an AB Editor) please tell me why this question has been banned? In over 700 posts I have had about 4 questions removed none of which I can't understand. They have not contained anything contentious or profane so what is the problem? Whenever I have asked before, there has been a stoney silence from AB. At the very least it warrants an explanation.

I refer you to the Site Rules -

...everyone who posts questions and answers here must understand and follow these few basic principles:

Due to the high volume of posts, all editorial decisions are final, and discussion relating to the removal or editing of posts will not be entered into by the AB Editor.

Point taken Kempie but a brief explanation would not go amiss to avoid repetition. Strange though how long it took to ban it, from the 5th June to around the 17th.

I can't see you whole post, but from what i can see it's also not a question
Anyway, dont be surprised if this one goes as well, after all it hardly a suggestion is it?

[Dudley]

The suggestion bednobs, is that we should be given an explanation or a reason to avoid future wasted postings.

Hi

I have investigated your complaint.

As far as I am aware your question was not banned. It can be located here:

Thanks AB Ed for your prompt response. This is very strange because when I go into 'My Profile' and open up 'My Questions' the heading on this particular question quite clearly states 'THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN BANNED'

maybe you actually clicked Submit twice (easy to do as the system has been hiccuping a lot lately) and one was left on site and the other was removed for repetition?
