You should go outside and enjoy the snow.

Even if you’re meant to be working blow it off and enjoy the snow.

I just finished a university-sponsored training session in a building across campus. A lot of snow fell in during that hour. I’m outta here.

I wish I could get excited about the 3000, but I know quite a few of them are spam accounts. Oh, well, it looks good on the screen.a-hard-days-night-george-10

Another person has knocked on the backdoor while I’m all alone at home. This time I was nutella-ing some crisp bread when they knocked- I dropped to the ground and crawled across the floor to the safety of the hall. They waited for about 2 minutes and then knocked again louder. 

I think they have left now.

I am scared.

What is the difference between suspending and banning an account?

Roughly 3 curse words.

Suspensions are temporary – bans are forever.

It’s the same thing as a suspension. I’d let you read the Hitchhiker’s Guide To Moderating, but I’m only up to page 8,637.
You are mentioned in at least 5,527 of those pages.a-hard-days-night-george-10

You can be banned temporarily and you can be suspended indefinitely.  

Or a suspended ban.

@Starr Shine? Because  @Joe doesn’t want to, like, or enjoy having to ban anyone – so there are steps in discipline on the forum when it has to be used.

Firstly, if someone is being disruptive, as seen in another thread recently, polite requests will be made (sometimes publicly, sometimes privately, sometimes a combination of the two) asking them to stop creating the problems they’re responsible for. In most instances that works.

However, when ignored, especially if the behaviour is spoiling the enjoyment of the forum for many, a suspension of their posting rights for a period of time is a last way for Joe to remind that they need to respect the forum, and if unwilling to do so, he will ban them for the good of the forum.

A suspension is the last weapon in his armoury before, if someone continues to disrespect the forum and its members, he has to impose the ultimate sanction. It’s good that Joe does everything in his power to get someone to play by the rules before he regretfully has to decide that enough is enough.

Right! For example:
If “Spammer A” posts at a rate of 25 words per post and “Spammer B” at a rate of 68 words per post, solve for X.a-hard-days-night-ringo-14

I’ve used it quite a bit on the forum.

You get an automatic “like” by me if you use it in a sentence (that is applicable to anyone.)
