Banned q's

[netibiza]

Why are normal q's being banned and now some obnoxious ones are getting through.

The Editor is having a busy time, officiating at a funeral today, a wedding tomorrow, and riding in the National. Trying to be all things to all men is tough but our dear Editior would make his life a bit easier by setting out some clearer principle. I am aware of the Terms of Use and Site Rules, but more transparency would help us all. Knowing why some questions or answers have been banned would sve people making the same mistakes.

You forgot about watching Ken and Dreary's wedding to-night......

But Didwot - many of the banned q's are not mistakes just perfectly normal, decent q's

I acknowledge that. Rather like my question that was banned

Dear AB Editor.
Please could you be kind enough to explain what your remit is, and what editing policy you follow.
I ask this kindly in the hope that, by knowing what you are able to do, or not do, when you do it and so on, users of this site will be able to understand your powers and limitations, and then not get so concerned when you do not respond, edit, or take heed of issues that are important to them. eg: changing of user names: abusive comment; impersonation of other users, and so on.
Written more in sorrow than in anger, by a former contributor, and occasional reader of the site, who despairs at some of the recent items that have appeared.

Transparency would work both ways. Help us not to transgress, and help the Editor know when we had.

Blimey Didwot - what can I say??

[AB Editor]

Dear Users

There are often several reasons why a question or answer is banned.For example:

If it is abusive,profane or sexually explicit.
If it has no relevence to the Question and Answer nature of the site.
Unnessarily chatty threads maybe removed under the judgement of the AB Editor.
Questions and answers may also be automatically removed if reported several times by other user(s).

Unfortunately due to the sheer volume of content on this site it is not possible to give individual responses to the queries about banned answers. If you would like to know more about the reasons for answers being removed, please refer to the Site Rules.

We do however ask for your patience and understanding regarding this matter.

Thank you
