@the_librarian

Yes. Those are the rules of the message board you are currently using and that you should have read.

Or maybe the trouble isn’t with the reading, but the next part after that?

While not a strict rule, it’s also considered poor form to open a Pit thread when the Pittee is unable to respond.

Perhaps wait until after the suspension is concluded?

@miller almost always closes Pit threads for posters with 30 day suspensions, though shorter ones may or may not draw such consideration.

But @Great_Antibob is correct, it’s absolutely bad form. Especially if they’re taking the time to actually reconsider, we can avoid putting them on the defensive, or make them double down as “they’re all out to get me”.

(to be clear, this is all mod-hat completely off)

Yeah, I’m going to close this as the guest of honor isn’t around to participate. When their suspension is up, feel free to DM me to reopen.
