    What????
    How do you know that's what happened?

    Under her name (on the old green version of the boards at least) it has th letters P, P and R - although I didn;t spot it until someone commented on DT.
    Is it temporary or permanent?

    Temporary I expect, it's very rare for someone to get barred completely and permanently for a first "offence". Could be anything between a week and a month I guess.
    Is there anything we can do to appeal on her behalf?

    Doubt it - the admins just react to reports, either PPRing people, locking threads or deleting posts or, more often, entire threads.
    They don't have the time to do anything else, especially for things that occur on the non-core boards.
    PN's speshulness makes it hard for her to have FTF friends. We are, I think, an important point of contact with other human beings for her. I don't want her to lose that.

    Does she know about and have access to the other place?

    She's texted back. She didn't know anything about it.
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    I don't know how they tell people they're PPR'd, does anyone else? I suppose they either email you, or else a message comes up when you try to post something. Poor PN, that's rotten :(

    Have heard from her. It's 2 weeks.

    That's absolutely dreadful - all over Christmas when dear PN might really want some online company. :sad:

    Isn't there any way we can plead for her?

    They probably send a personal message - that way the recipient will be alerted as soon as they next log in.
    Dunno what they'd do if the recipient's inbox is full, though, maybe they have an override to allow an admin PM to be delivered even if nobody else's would be.

    I don't believe it - some bar steward has obviously complained about something PN's said, and she's been sent to the naughty step :mad:

    I can't see anything obvious. :mad:

    When people are PPR'd they should get an email, maybe PN has an old email registered to her user ID.

    However, if there's an alternative method for us to transfer the money to buy you a thing to make showering safe, that would be fine too.

    Paypal works for me.

    I have little doubt that the reported post(s) will have been deleted by the admins.

    I can only see one post which I thought was a touch blunt, but that one, presumably, wasn't reported.

    You do get an email, but as you are locked out you can't see it

    All you get is a pop up saying you are pprd for however long. You get to see the email when your ban is up

    Madness

    Perhaps we can all pm Andrea and plea her case? I know I'm not a member of this thread but PN is one of my favourite people on these forums, she has helped me tremendously by being so open. She is well loved and respected by so many on here that I really can not see why she is in receipt of a PPR
