Poster **asahi** got banned. When I tried to click on the referenced warnings, all of the posts were gone. Shouldn’t those still be in place? I don’t think the same principle applies as when troll posts or spammer posts get vanished, so is there a reason why asahi’s posts are now gone? ---

Looks like the links in the banning notice are all to threads in the mod forum. ---

Yes. It does not support the banning, if there are no links that work. Doubtless this will be fixed. Mind you, I am not saying the banning was wrong. I am ambivalent on that. ---

Right, @Aspenglow linked to the direct messages rather than the original posts. It’s like the spy getting their double-0 status. The first kill is always the hardest, but it gets easier after that. I’ll cut her slack on this one. ---

Oh, good grief. You’ve got it exactly. I’ll get it fixed as soon as I can. Thanks for bringing this error to my attention! 😳 ETA: It will take awhile. ---

I think it’s fixed. Thanks again for letting me know. ---

Not that it really matters, but I get the oops! message on all the “On Another Topic” links. It’s pretty self explanatory with the other stuff. I knew he was pretty toxic in political stuff, didn’t realize it even carried into things like baseball threads. Good call. ---

It carried into the Alec Baldwin thread in CS, too. ---

Jeez, I shouldn’t have even looked. That was using some seriously twisted reasoning to send Baldwin to prison. No use waiting for actual facts to come out.
