Banning or account suspension appears to involve the terms in which the violence was couched, the mod’s mood, the identity of the individual poster, the point in time of the election cycle and a few other factors. I requested to be put on the zot ping so that I could distill the essential criteria for zotting. Am still mystified in some cases. Still don’t understand the definition of “personal attacks.”
Tried to link to the thread so you could see the topic that caused my “double secret probation”, but apparently, you aren’t permitted to see that.
Just as it’s probably unlikely you’ll be allowed to see this.
