> [@UltraVires](#): > > Are there any links? The past practice was that the mod would cite a few examples and then say that the poster was suspended. I agree with @DrDeth that he didn’t do anything wrong in the gun thread, but I don’t know what “alien” thread we are talking about–however he confessed error, so that’s one against him. > [@Is 'Zoo Hypothesis' Mainstream?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-zoo-hypothesis-mainstream/940475/110): > > Us: “A xenocidal super-civilization doesn’t make sense based on what we have observed” You: “A xenocidal super-civilization is a ridiculous idea and I can’t believe you two would argue for its existence!” I’m done here. It turned into a shitstorm, for which i completely agree I am partially, nay _mostly_ at fault. _mea culpa_. I was egged on, but I should learn to ignore them. I was wrong, and **What\_Exit** was completely right in shutting down that thread temporarily, and issuing some Notes. Heck, I wouldnt have been happy about a warning, but maybe deserved. But a suspension, out of the blue? > [@UltraVires](#): > > Nothing personally against What\_Exit, but I respectfully disagree with his/her moderation in most cases. We see it over and over again. Posters are here for 10, 15, 20 years with no problem and then they get warnings, suspensions, and bannings because of new and unstated rules. Yes, exactly. And you know what? When I read his post about the new rules, no more 'contrast and compare" i deleted the two posts I had just made so as to go along with that (even tho I thought he was wrong). My next post was about teen suicide- which What\_Exit had specifically came in to say was now “on topic”. But for that, I got banned from the thread- _for following What\_exits rules._ --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/drdeths-suspension/940813)._
