Apologies for not mentioning this sooner – I meant to and then we had a little power outage and when the power was back it got past me. ☹ Faithfool has asked for and received a posting sabbatical – so those of you who may be wanting to see her here, she cannot physically post to the board. She will get back to you when she’s ready. In the meantime please give her space and time. ---

For how long? Shoot, I know whose fault it is. :dubious: I would mention it, but doing so would result in a warning, so I’ll just keep my mouth shut… ---

People take sabbaticals for all kinds of reasons, business and personal. Whatever the case might be they ask for it and we do them this service. It’s as long as she wants it to be, she asked for it and when she wants to come back and post she’ll let us know, that’s how this works. None of your business to speculate or insinuate or be snarky. And as it says in the registration agreement: > [@](#): > > We have one guiding principle: Don’t be a jerk. That gets you warned too, you know. Just sayin’. ---

do other boards offer official voluntary sabbaticals for posters? ---

I don’t know. We do. There’s some people that have times when they require an actual physical break from making posts. The reasons are as varied as the people who require them but most often it’s because they have business projects or studies, exams, family issues … they just need to not be posting. They can always come back when the project is finished or whatever. It’s not a big deal. ---

> [@shijinn](#): > > do other boards offer official voluntary sabbaticals for posters? Something Awful offers involuntary sabbaticals for posters. This place is very lightly modded by comparison. ---

Good on her for recognising she needed a break. I hope she comes back reinvigorated. ---

Just sayin’. Why keep this thread open, just to say “Let’s not speculate, or that’s a moderator paddlin’?” ---

If anything should have happened to **faithfool** , it should have been a warning for junior modding in that pit thread, when she constantly tried to prevent posters posting on-topic. ---

Pity. Hope she’s back soon, as she’s definitely _not_ Texas trash, which is about as high a compliment someone in Texas can receive from me. ---

> [@IvoryTowerDenizen](#): > > She prevented nothing. All she did was PM people to politely ask and give some reasons why she was asking. If that’s what she’d done, I’d not have known about it. She repeatedly posted in the thread about it, and in any other thread the constant off topic posts would be considered threadshitting.
