Wouldn't explain why he was banned, just why his posts declined.
I dunno - your board, your rules. This is the only online "community" I really participate in, so I'm not sure how it works elsewhere.
Just seems weird to have a guy around one day and not the next, and not know why or even if it was of his own accord. In an AA group or other offline community, one can imagine a participant not showing up one day and most people wanting to know why. Not to judge, just out of curiousity. And if they were kicked out, one would want to know why.
And yeah, maybe the rules are posted, but still. We all know the "rules" for what can or can't happen in an MPA, but we still want to know specifically why a place like IT was closed down.
Not to mention the results of the DNA tests they're taking on the carpets.
