I would literally rather be banned with language telling me I was banned, because that's honest at least. If you're kicking me out of a community because you don't like me, at least have the decency not to pretend to my face like you are trying to do me a favor.
- Anthony-G 3y agoOn more than one occasion, I’ve witnessed a moderator of a web forum or email list asking a participant to “take time off” and the participant later came back and thanked them for it. In those cases, the communities were small enough and it worked because the moderators knew the participant reasonably well and figured (correctly) that they were over-reacting because they were having a bad day.
