Why was Umbridge banned, too disruptive? Suspected of being a troll?

I found her posts fascinating if true, for someone not interested in sex she sure was interested in sex.

Yea she wasn’t even warned, and she did contribute to other threads.

She didn’t ping my trolldar. It’s hard to believe someone could make that level of cluelessness up consistently. I hope sh gets some help. It seems like she is living and is facing a increciably lonely life.

You’ve been here long enough to know. If a poster disappears for no reason, PM a mod, don’t start a new thread.

Actually I didn’t know that because it’s been obvious why users disappeared in the past.

Correct. In general, please PM or email a mod if you wish to know why a poster has been banned if no explanation has been posted.

However, I have posted an [explanation](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=18329006&postcount=50) in the closed GQ thread here.
