Unfortunately the forum guidelines allow one to be blasted by whomever would like via PM, including mods, and if you make even a vague reference to it, it is a ban-worthy infraction.
If it had ever happen to me, I'd think it were terribly unfair. Thank goodness it has NEVER happened to me.
Having said that, I think the rules are unfair. It has never happened to me.
For what it's worth, and it's precious little, sreten's ban appeared to be unfair.
And I agree with my indignant brethren: if we wanted an Addiction thread, someone mould have started it by now.
Pub 51 meant well, but, not surprisingly, the topics trend towards alcohol consumption, and not everyone wants to participate.
Id like to start a thread called "Miscellany", where we discuss questions or observations that don't seem worthy of their own thread. I'd start it, but it don't want to see it merged with Pub 51.
We normally don't comment on the reason for a member's banning, because it is between the member and the forum staff. Perhaps you are not aware that posts that get deleted by moderators don't show up on the member's profile anymore.
Pub 51 is the thread for miscellaneous chitchat. The name of the thread was tossed around a bit when the thread was started. It can be changed to "Miscellany" if enough people want it changed.
