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

    She tells me she called someone "an annoying pr1ck", although since she seems to have been referring to a celeb rather than addressing a fellow board member, it seems a bit harsh to PPR her over Christmas. :(

    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.

    Lydia, please let her know there are a lot of people on here missing her, there's a thread in DT if she hasn't seen it. And also tell her that if she PMs the forum team, which you can still do when on a PPR, and plead her case, they do sometimes overthrow a PPR.

    I suspect PMing them to plead her case may well be one of those things that NT people can do but which is "too difficult/stressful" for her because of being speshul. I've PMed MSE Andrea appealing on her behalf, since the DT folks are doing that because of someone else who was un-PPRed after others campaigned on their behalf.

    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

    I thought that you get an email rather than a DM, so you would be able to read your emails. I may be wrong.

    Recently there was a long running thread that was shut, even though there were couple of posters very ill and a couple recently bereaved, so I'm not sure pleas will work.
    I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards. I volunteer to help get your forum questions answered and keep the forum running smoothly. Forum Ambassadors are not moderators and don't read every post. If you spot an illegal or inappropriate post then please report it to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com (it's not part of my role to deal with this).

    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:

    What? Not our PN!

    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

    I have texted her to let her know about the messages of support and suggestions of appeal both here and in DT.

    She says the messages of support are lovely because she has been "very sad being banished". I am texting recommending her to log in "elsewhere".
