A few thank you's revisited

[Mike Abberton]

The fact that a member can be banned for PM content and not bring up the PM in their own defense....although I'm thinking if you get banned you have no recourse anyway....seems a bit out of place for a trust issue on the member whose at risk.

The question I have here is to what defense you are referring? There is no jury of peers (i.e. members) system in place, so the only people to whom you might present a defense case would be the other staff members at the Blitz. I could be wrong, but I don't see that a staff member here would refuse to allow another staff member to see the contents of a PM if there was a grievance filed. Who else needs to see the PM to get a proper defense?

Now, if you don't trust the staff to give a grievance to fair review and resolution, than that is a different matter altogether.
