    As the thread title says. I've not spotted any controversial threads that might cause this. Anyone any ideas?

    Hopefully it's just a short-term hiatus; she gives so much to so many and has saved countless people huge amounts of money - surely the purpose of this Money Saving. forum?

    I think it's the same old problem with one particular person who
    themselves has been PPR'd many times

    None of us has seen any controversial threads.

    So I guess we must all work that much harder until C-M's
    safe return

    Coupon is alive and well and posting on Pepipoo.

    In the meantime, take a bit more care with your defences as there will be less checking going on.

    If you think something is wrong with a defence or WS, then get involved.

    I am shocked that CM has had her posting privileges removed. She is always very polite in her posts.

    Yes, but she can sometimes be overly brusque with new posters. Mostly their own fault for not reading the Newbies thread but maybe a consequence of attempting to respond to so many threads in one go. Perhaps one or more of those newbies have reported her.

    Otherwise perhaps she's taken the bait from a troll or one of her recurring foes with the appeal business debacle.

    This is just mad, C_M is the most helpful person here, who spends hours and hours honing defences for people. Maybe MSE have got fed up with them for repeatedly mentionign that the advice on the main MSE is just rubbish.

    Can we do anything to get them reinstated?

    She also has a habit of suggesting some posters might have a hidden agenda, which I have seen this recently on a few threads with one poster in particular.

    I suspected that this might happen and warned her to watch her step.
    She ignored me.

    She has been particularly offensive, (imo), to a new poster who she thinks is a well known troll from her BMPA days. He seems to be well up on own space tickets, Perhaps he has made a complaint.

    Obviously she has tested my signature.

    I have problems on some sites when I refer to the 'Black Country'. My post is never published.

    What about those who live in S!!!!horpe?

    Apologies, we shouldn't be discussing a possible PPR on here but rather than move it to a non motoring board I'll close the thread.
