First, as stated in her post earlier I’m in contact with pansyface directly about the events of the last few days, so that conversation is continuing.
Second, I’m extremely sorry for the alarm caused both to pansyface and to everybody else on the forum who feels that we’ve been unduly harsh. There was never any intention to implement a ‘ban’, simply a temporary ‘cool off’ period, while we attempted to resolve matters directly.
We always deal with people directly about site moderation issues, rather than on the forum (which is entirely routine practice). On this occasion, we went about it in entirely the wrong way and we should have posted something sooner.
I’m not going to go into any more detail here - that is something I’ll address directly with pansyface. I would like to add, though, that we absolutely are committed to improving the accessibility, as documented in my earlier update posts. More on that score shortly.
I'm sure Pansyface didn't make comments about teenage girl's thighs, us older ones as mutton dressed as lamb and targeted new female members and kept asking for pm's from them and sending people offensive pm's.
I'll save the mods the trouble and ban myself for 48 hrs. p.s it has taken me 8 mins to post this running windows 10 with a speed of 17.24

A shame that GW have not responded. I thought they would be anxious to show their interest in making the forum accessible to all.
