Why is my question about Pegah Esmaili’s ban being deleted instantly instead of posted?

What Heather Jedrus said: Heather Jedrus’ answer to Why is my question about Pegah Esmaili’s ban being deleted instantly instead of posted?

Because they always delete questions asking why a specific user was banned. One reason is for the privacy of that person. There are probably other reasons as well.

Edited to add: There’s no way to get a really good answer to a question like that. Quora will never give any kind of official answer, the banned person isn’t able to answer, and everyone else is just guessing. I think answers to questions like that are at a high risk for BNBR violations and are likely to mostly be rumors and gossip.

All true. The instadelete is odd, but as Sierra Spaulding pointed out in comments (https://www.quora.com/Why-is-my-…), questions about bans are reported vigilantly by Quora users, and most of them are deleted quickly. Quick reporting is likelier.

I have, after a lot of hesitation, started posting users’ own statements as to their bans on Necrologue. BNBR still applies there, as does a ban on speculation. Users’ own statements, I believe, are exempt from that.

*I* believe.
