On a personal level I'm wary of posting about matters involving Convid,

If you want to discuss such things with other conspiracy theorists then Quora may be the place for you; you can also discuss that 9/11 was a hoax, the U.S. election was rigged and the holocaust never happened. All bizarre and even distasteful discussions to me but each to their own.

What makes you think I'm a conspiracy theorist or interested in the above? 

Because you'd said you had received warnings for saying things about "matters involving Convid"? I assumed that meant you thought Covid was a con/hoax? Or was it just a typo?

I never spell it correctly on here. I might be paranoid, but when I've used the correct spelling, trouble has followed, so either someone's reported me or software is used to track the word, because mods don't usually read all the posts.

I don't agree with a lot of policy related to the virus, but that's not saying it doesn't exist or it's a conspiracy. I'm only interested in facts, but they may still be contentious, or seen as such. When I got my second warning, I supplied the relevant data to the mods, but they didn't respond and the strike stayed in place despite what I'd said being accurate. No doubt this is because data may be interpreted in different ways, much like house price statistics in fact.

I recall DavesNave making some covid comments and they didn't strike me as unreasonable and I work in a related field but they were off arguably topic for a house moving thread.  There is no shortage of sites to debate that subject if one feels the need

Ah, apologies, perhaps not the best choice of mis-spelling if you are trying NOT to attract attention.

I agree, my mistake. I've seen others use the con prefix in many situations, but if its conveying the notion that the illness itself isn't real, then clearly it's the wrong word for those of us who focus more on government responses and the interpretation of data or research.

Perhaps you could enlighten us about the rules that were broken and the conduct that was considered unacceptable.

Sure. From the 'Debate House Prices' board...

We’re struggling at the moment with the huge volumes of messages we’re getting from Forumites about coronavirus and the impact it’s having on their finances. We’re a small team and we’re doing our best to manage this spike in demand. As a result, we’ve reluctantly decided to temporarily close the Debate House Prices & the Economy Board so that we can redirect our limited resources to those who need us most at this time.

Please do not post content intended for this board elsewhere in the forum – we appreciate your help and understanding during this exceptionally difficult time. It goes without saying, we hope to get back to full business as soon as possible!

It ran for some time though, and had 20k views, much more than any other thread on the first page?

Anybody would think that starting another thread that serves no real purpose on the forum is in itself obtuse. 

Maybe, when the market cools though it will be all over the internet/media anyway, a dedicated thread is neither here nor there really?
