For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.They are only banned if they don�t comply with Site Rules or sometimes if the replies don�t which is a bit unfair, but without the rules this place would get out of hand. I don�t think it will be too long before this disappears as its in the wrong category :-)
many people post a question in Body & Soul and it is in the incorrect category, it may be the case that they get a satisfactory answer, but often they are better having it re posted in the right category. Some people post a question in Body & Soul and state they know it is in the
wrong category but 'it has more traffic in here' is often the reason. Some people post any old question in Body & Soul because they are seeking attention, this is like a vanity post. In all of these cases the question could be reported as incorrect category, the ed would then be alerted to the post and will usually remove it to the right category, if the post then disappears, the poster usually starts another thread asking what happened to the first, a little bit of intelligence would tell them to
1)check their profile, if it is still in there and they can open it, it is still active, maybe just moved or awaiting recategorizing by the ed
or
2) E mail the ed / technical team from their profile and ask what has happened. This serves a threefold purpose, it means there isn't yet another 'where did my question go ' thread posted in the wrong category or in suggs, then it alerts the ed to your concerns and if for any reason the thread/question was unreasonably zapped by over zealous members it will be passed and reinstated with the report option disabled, and then it also helps a member understand how the ed works and how quickly the ed can respond and act.
