Removed Thread.

[anneasquith]

I can understand when mods or ed remove a post ?but fail to see why an entire thread is removed?

[Peter Pedant]

I seem to have got suspended because my short name PP was the same as another more abusive ( me? never ! never ! ) poster

then on the Tuesday I was back on and ....

the thread asking - wossee done now ? about me and what I hadnt done - was erased instead

there's free speech for you

as a point of order Retrocop has been suspended since 31 July
is this a record ?

[ummmm]

No, it's not a record, PP.

[andy-hughes]

PP - free speech includes obeying Site Rules - which is why a thread querying your actions was removed, and your question about Retrocop will not be receiving a response.

Please read the AE's response.

chico

The ones MargoTester are probably referring to might have decided that they don't want to return , otherwise why would they not email the ed and point out that it looks as though they have been forgotten about .

Although - they have been suspended several times and each time they have been re-instated , they have reverted to type

[Mamyalynne]

Sqad, yes I like 'dudgeon' as a word - grew up hearing it.

[ladybirder]

How long is too long to be suspended I wonder? Three months is the one I'm looking at but I thought it used to be a couple of weeks a few years back. Is it OK to bring it to the attention of the Ed after a certain time or can a mod keep an ABer dangling for ever?
PP I queried someone being suspended for almost 2 years I believe it was and lo and behold she was active again the next day.

[ladybirder]

Me too mamya. It meant you were mightily p'd off by someone or something.

[Mamyalynne]

Your previous offences will be taken into account, of course as Chris says it's possible you may be forgotten I guess.

[Jackdaw33]

I agree with Ladybirder. Either suspend or ban. No halfway house.

[ummmm]

Not really. A ban usually means all answers get removed. If they have made some helpful contributions the bank of answers might want to keep them.

[Arksided]

I have being suspended many years ago, I did go off the boli a little bit but simply did break Site Rules arguing with a now banned user (Troll). As I was drawn in, I do prefer the suspension idea. BTW I was reinstated after an apology for my own 'out of charterer' behaviour at the time.

[ABSpareEditor]

I've answered the original question and as I said, discussions about banned members won't be entered into, so I'm going to close this thread now.
