    Thread ban issued in April 2021

    Hi There, I was thread banned from a thread which is still going strong and I would like to make comments on. I was banned because I failed to stop discussing something (which wasn't contentious - it was just not going anywhere). I was so involved in posting I didn't notice that the Mod had asked us to stop. I contacted the Mod and apologised at the time.

    Bearing in mind, it was an unintentional error by me and I have been banned for 18 months, I would like to be able to post again. I don't think it was envisaged that this thread would still be live nearly 2 years later.

    Perhaps, rather than giving a lifetime ban (which is a bit severe), maybe 6 months/1 year would be more appropriate.

    Thanks.

    The dispute resolution forum only deals with pointed sanctions and forum bans. I have moved this to Help Desk

    Have you taken this up recently with the mod?

    No, I haven't. I thought that life bans would be an overall boards policy sanction. So I have to contact the Mod who banned me. I'll do that. Thanks.

    To clarify that aspect. DRP deals with formal and recorded actions, such as forum bans and warning points. These are technical things recorded against an account.

    A thread ban isn't part of these, and despite the common term for it calling it a ban, it's classed as a moderators instruction, which is far more general, and doesn't have any kind of formal record. Hence why you may see busier/contentious threads listing those banned from that thread in the first post of it.
