When they don’t tell us someone is banned it’s because they’re a spammer, sock or troll and they want us to email for information. But since when they do this it’s either a spammer, sock or troll, I generally feel my curiosity is sated.

Posting that quick, almost certainly a spammer.  
ETA: Or a sock. Or a troll.

> If you have a question about a thread or poster who “disappeared,” please DO NOT post an inquiry. In probably 95% of such cases, the thread (or poster) that vanished was an attention-seeker – a spammer , sock, or troll. They’re out for any attention, even negative attention, and we don’t want to give it to them. They disappear, as do their posts. And as do posts about them.
