My account on ELL was just re-suspended, after asking for explanation about my suspension!

Now I can't post on ELL Meta (in addition to ELL itself). I was wondering if something similar happens to my ELU account, how can I communicate with a moderator or someone who can judge if my suspension is fair or not?

P.S. I'm asking this beforehand because when this happens I wouldn't be able to ask!

  • Sometimes I see ELL moderators in ELU chat, try there.

    My understanding is that reasons are relayed by email; but even if that's not done it should be fairly obvious by the interactions in the site [NB: I haven't looked at your interaction in ELL and this is just a general comment, not an answer]. There's always [email protected] who will probably be able to explain and can adjudicate if necessary.

  • @Andrew, yes, but I think that that team cannot say nothing else that what shog9 has alread said in his answer, on hold.

    Shog9 is one of the SE team at that email address, yes. But if you wanted precise details of what caused the suspension, you would normally have to ask them because deleted comments are available to no-one else (except in this case it has been published). It's far better to avoid the suspension in the first place than ask about it afterwards.

    I think this question should probably be closed because it risks clouding the ELL issue.

    @All Please do not speculate on causes of suspension. All suspended users receive messages explaining why they have been suspended; it is for them to decide if they want to publicize the details.

  • @waiwai933 how can they publicize the details?

  • @Mods and All: And I still do not understand. Being suspended because you are considered not to'obey' the rules; many of your questions are 'closed' or 'down-voted'? Oh come on! I am inviting everyone to watch this video "Inspiring teachers: State school teachers of English in China and Indonesia who generate long term motivation" englishagenda.britishcouncil.org/seminars/…

To be clear, I am a moderator on both EL&U and ELL.

Mod messages are received in your global SE inbox (that's what appears when you click the Stack Exchange logo in the upper left corner of every page). If you click on the mod message there, you will be able to reply to it.

In general, we will respond to constructive queries; rants, taunts, and nonsense (all of which we have received in the past) will be ignored. In addition, you can ask that another moderator review the suspension.

If that channel of communication does not lead to a result satisfactory to you, you can contact the Stack Exchange team directly or post on meta once the suspension is complete.

The above is a somewhat general answer. I'm looking into the details of your second suspension right now, since it's not exactly clear what happened there, and I'll let you know what comes of it. It is perfectly fine to ask about your suspension, so we'll see if we can figure the details of that one out and get back to you.

I have sent you a mod message on ELL providing additional detail regarding the (second) suspension.

    Although “rants, taunts, and nonsense (all of which we have received in the past) will be ignored” does not say that Nate has written rants, taunts, and nonsense in responses to mods, some people may so interpret it.
