A more complete thought...

| Jun 3, 2013 at 22:43 | comment | added | Shog9 | @Sha: yeah, we can "lift" the bans by, uh, making your history on the site look slightly less sad. Of course, so can anyone else who thinks something you've written is worth an up-vote. What we can't do is make you no longer banned without actually changing how you're ranked on the site. | |
| Jun 3, 2013 at 19:43 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @Laura "Stack Exchange cannot lift answer bans by request" is not true. Community Manager can lift the ban, I've seen Tim Post doing it recently. | |
| Jun 3, 2013 at 17:41 | comment | added | Laura StaffMod | There already are pages for question bans and answer bans. They'll be easier to find once we add the search box in. Those pages link to How to Ask/Answer and the MSO post, along with a brief explanation that answer bans cannot be lifted by request. | |
| Jun 3, 2013 at 16:24 | comment | added | Brad Larson Mod | @djechlin - One advantage I can see with this is that by hosting it on a discrete page within the help center on the site in question, we might have fewer people be directed to the Meta question who don't read it and just start posting on Meta. If they still have questions about the ban, the more observant users will find their way here to ask. That question and answer are also a bit long, so organizing the suggestions there into a help desk format could make it easier to read. | |
| Jun 3, 2013 at 16:13 | comment | added | apaul | @djechlin Is there an indication that you can get banned for poor questions and answers in the faq currently? Not that many of them read it... It would be nice to say that we gave fair warning. | |
| Jun 3, 2013 at 16:06 | comment | added | djechlin | When they get that they're already given exactly where to go, for the record. If they're going to willfully ignore the instructions, that's that. | |
