I know I am probably not supposed to ask, and please don't tell me off for doing so, but recently a member was banned from PC, and I have a question as to why this occurred. The reason I am asking is this member was the reason I came to PC in the first place, I was getting a huge amount of harassment on another site and they told me to come to this site where people are nicer. Plus I have received this person's email from another member so I could contact them, but, I am wondering if I should just, you know, not do so. If something has happened that I should steer clear of this person then I'd like to know. I noticed that a thread was closed recently on said member, seemingly because it was simply about them so I'm gathering this a big deal and if I should disassociate myself with them I'd like to know that. But I am also worried that asking now is going to get me in trouble (nooooo!). I'm not sure if a moderator or someone could please just clarify the situation to me in a PM? I know it's generally a private thing when this situation occurs, but I'm just extremely confused.

I'm sorry if I'm breaking any rules by asking (please don't tell me off!), but I hope you understand why I'm questioning the situation, and I'm not expecting a public answer, if I get one at all. I won't name the member but I'm sure you may know who I'm speaking of.

Thanks!
