Site Question: Why was Speedy Transitions Banned?

[~Rule 63~ Lyeco 527]

I got strange question why he was banned in here in the first place? Is it because he did something bad or posted something bad? He could be a nice guy or something.

That would be better suited to a Moderation Dispute ticket, seeing as it'd be up to them whether or not your friend was banned. Here, ask them about it with this form.

I'm pretty sure we aren't aloud to ask why someone was banned.

 

He got enough warning points so...he was.

 

It's a bit of a Moderated-User thing.

This topic concerns a technical or general issue that is better suited for an admin to handle, due to its' complicated or private nature. It is thus better suited as a Support Ticket.

Sure you are There's no rule against asking questions or being curious. But, as you've also mentioned, there is a lot of privacy in these issues that we try and uphold to the best of our ability. The staff aren't obligated to fill people in on the details, even if you ask privately in a support ticket. At the end of the day, people are banned because they caused some amount of rule breaking, or other disruptive presence on the site whether rapidly, or as a noticeable pile-up over the long term. Since they aren't coming back, there's really little point in discussing it. I'd personally recommend contacting a friend of the person and asking them, one on one, if you truly need to know.
