I never claimed the OP lied; nor would I even try to imply it. I've long had issues with the policy that users can't see their own deleted questions ( http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/2645/show-all-of-my-question-answers-to-me-even-if-they-are-deleted http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/2645/show-all-of-my-... ), and I brought that up to say that I can understand if there's confusion there. No one is ever post banned for one post (it's a system imposed ban that takes into account a number of things: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/86997/what-can-i-do-when-getting-sorry-we-are-no-longer-accepting-questions-answers http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/86997/what-can-i-do-... ). It's our fault (moderators and members of the Stack Overflow community) if there isn't clear enough feedback regarding that cycle. That was my intention. I'm sorry. I'll try to communicate more clearly on this topic in the future.
- smackfu 13y agoYeah, I think it's just a natural response to being in a very strictly ruled culture like Stack Overflow. The focus falls on the details ("banned after asking 1 question") rather than the general premise ("banned unfairly"). When you point out the details don't sound right, that is absolutely correct, but that doesn't help the person, since the rules are just arbitrary from their viewpoint anyways. It's a hard problem. (And I apologize if my response came off overly harsh. I tried to soften it.)
