    At some point you may have violated the terms of service, or asked/answered a question that sounded more like chat than an actual question/answer. Or it just could be that someone took offense at something you said. It happens no matter how careful you are. If you know which question sparked the violation, try to avoid that particular person, or topic.

    It's likely because of "conversational content."

    We're not supposed to talk about other members, in any way shape or form, or ask "do you like this or that" or in any way act as if we give a rat's patoot about each other. We're supposed to be robotic and devoid of sentiment or emotion.

    Don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger.

    Damn, I remember when you were a little sapling.

    Being all mysterious, now you've got the whole face showing...

    I think I've been here too long, I see this all the time.

    Basically, it's like the TV show, "Jeopardy" - you're not making a question out of what you write; you're leaving it a statement!

    it seems asking a Q is a misuse these days, I got one re-instated though, FFS I nearly had a heart attack!
