I got a three day timeout for something I posted. They didn't tell me what I posted that was bad.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

It's happened to me before also. You upset somebody here on the site.

You're not entitled to an explanation in a fascist state. 🙁

Unfortunately, you shouldn't do the crime if you can't do the time. Sometimes they will shorten the duration of your suspension if you agree to have sex with them, but it is not worth it. Be contrite, be polite, and the next time you speak to a mod say "thank you sir, may I have another?"

Hmm yeah1 But he was complaining about not being told what his fault was.

A bit like being thrown in the slammer for 3 months and not being told why don't you agree.

A little communication wouldn't go amiss.

I believe an explanation was sent to the user.

Your analogy is pretty melodramatic. A 3 day forum ban from an Internet chess site != 3 months in prison.

WOW. These automated responses are pretty cool. 'Artificial inteligence' has come a long way. It has not been quite perfected yet though.

As a kid, I'll bet you liked playing with fire and stepping on broken glass, didn't you? You are a bit like the defiant field mouse flipping the finger at the hawk that was swooping down to swallow him whole.

Um. I doubt that I will be 'destroyed' for having a sense of humour and being a wee bit flippant.
But yes, feel free to bow down before the almighty invigilator if you wish. I'm not sure that he requires that you do so however.
