You had disappeared from mine for a while, and then reappeared. Wonder why...

maybe temp banned people don't show up on follow lists?

Without naming the person, the Postings part of their profile shows the most recent post as 06:16 yesterday. That's consistent with my news feed.

At the same person's profile, under Areas the most recent post was 09:11 yesterday.

If the latter is true, then I guess that @arn is correct (thanks) and that a rule was broken at 09:11.

I began this topic at 11:52 yesterday.

AFAIR originally I simply attempted to follow the person, then I was repeatedly confused by the system never showing the name that I repeatedly added. I could have mentioned that detail in the opening post, but I wanted to keep it simple.

Anyway ... if the person is temporarily banned, then:

• I like the discretion
• the confusion (the apparent failure of the system to follow someone) can be negligible.

I'll review and probably resolve this topic if/when that person reappears.

Resolved. The followed person is listed as followed.

@grahamperrin You were temp-banned for only a day? Is that even possible?

 

[grahamperrin]

@redheeler loosely speaking: yes. I'm happy to discuss (within reason), but durations and so on are off-topic; I'll flag this topic for a lock/closure.
