GENERAL DISCUSSION about FUTURE policy:
Deletions are not a major concern -- just an annoyance. My concern is the "doubling" of suspension length (3,7,???), with no opportunity to communicate during a suspension, and no idea why or how to avoid the next one. I feel like I am in a trap, and it stifles my technical development progress in the Kindle Developer's Corner where I hang out. We have our own (not green) forum moderators there, and they do a good job patrolling and keeping it clean. I prefer the local police knocking on my door over the military dropping a silent bomb on my head (an analogy).
NOT a discussion about specific moderator actions that may have occurred -- just (perhaps unintended) consequences about policy and procedure. Cutting communications lines (a side-effect of suspension) PREVENTS fixing problems. To avoid these problems, a little communication would go a long way before any triggers are pulled. Suspensions just raise more questions...
EDIT: I just received a PM answering some questions (sort of). Being told that taking a vacation would be a good idea was apparently considered a warning. I am not good with hints, and I (mis)perceived it as an unwarranted aggressive challenge, automatically triggering my self-defense. Sorry. Aspies in general have different social cues and social boundaries, as if from another planet. It is thought that most geniuses throughout history were aspies. In current media, think "Sheldon Cooper".
