Warnings and Bans

Warning for @AnneB. She’s misbehaved, and then escalated, to try to get my attention. Two of the more recent examples:

  1. I explained problems with the Friendly category, moved it to a sub-category, and made the Projects category to try to solve those problems. Anne then undermined me by starting a new “Project” in Friendly, not in Projects. She avoided using the template I wrote to structure projects better and help prevent bad projects. Further, because of her ongoing attempts to get attention from me, I don’t want to police her and give her attention as a reward for doing something wrong, so I was unable to correct it.

  2. Anne implied that social putdowns are welcome on the forum in general:

I see Friendly as a place where there’s some attention to not putting people down socially.

That’s a passive-aggressive social putdown against me and my forum.

Her posts have been bad but the main problem is causing trouble and then escalating to try to get (negative) attention from me. People need to do a reasonable job of writing posts that I can just not reply to, which don’t pressure me or do harm if ignored.
