Definitely banned I think. When you are banned, your karma button goes away. You can see the difference between her profile on her last post and the one underneath it.

This in context of her banning, now that we know that she was banned for sure. (Thanks to Lions post)

Better up than with, I suppose :p

Re: Where is Siouxie?
 

Yes. Life is hard enough. Just be decent and kind. There are too many truly shit people and things in the world to waste time on petty stuff.

Just before thunder and lightning.... :p

Re: Where is Siouxie?
 

Exactly.

Re: Where is Siouxie?
 

Her profile says that she was a BE moderator for 10 years, hopefully she got to keep her pension and they gave her some severance pay.

Re: Where is Siouxie?
 

I'm so sorry to see this.

I've just tried to send her a message as a continuation of a conversation we were having, and it came back as an error. User not found.

I'm getting less and less interested in BE as the days go by.

Pity. It was a good site, once upon a time

Re: Where is Siouxie?
 

Have no interested in discussing the ins and outs of it, but just want to say I hope all is well with her and wish her the best for the future if she chooses to read this thread.

I can honestly say if it wasn't for her and another member/mod I likely wouldn't be in Canada now and almost certainly wouldn't be a resident.

Re: Where is Siouxie?
 

Agreed Scilly... she was probably one, if not the biggest asset to this site, and to be banned for no reason is just ridiculous.

I too am getting less interested in this site when they ban all the helpful and kind people. She should start up her on expat site if they don't want her here.

Re: Where is Siouxie?
 

That's not very likely is it? Board moderators typically only ban people if there's no hope of getting them to behave reasonably. I, for example, only got a suspension for whatever it was that got me suspended. If someone is banned and you don't know why, the reasonable assumption is that they did something worthy of a ban (running a sock, for example, or persistently insulting someone thin skinned) that you don't know about. The moderators aren't going to tell you, the banned person might, otherwise you just have to guess. Any guess is more probable than "no reason".

I should say, in case the poster in question is reading, that I had nothing to do with this. I'd ask what happened via facebook but I see that I've been unfriended.
