I’m withholding answers this fortnight. Jennifer will tear me a new one, because Time Out on Quora really is supposed to mean Time Out on Quora, where I would be just updating entries on Necrologue.
But, on the Necrologue:

Your account has been banned because it has been linked to suspicious and/or malicious activity that violated Quora’s policies and guidelines.
Without knowing about, or wanting to know about, the particulars of these bans:
Quora was giving no justification for bans for a long time. Then it was, and it was mostly BNBR. Then it wasn’t again.
Then it started giving justifications so vague, I’ve been counting them as equivalent to None Given: “Multiple Violations”.
This month, “Suspicious and/or Malicious” has shown up.
The acute problem with this is, “Suspicious” is not an assertion that an offence is proven, only that it is suspected.
Users being banned on the mere suspicion of nefarious activity? That’s even worse than not giving any rationale at all.
I’m now resuming my Quora Time Out.
