Well I think it is abuse to block someone on unclear reasons without giving them them a chance to be given an explanation for why it happened and to also not give the user a chance to explain themselves. As I noted on a previous occassion, if this was a job position, then the person who was let go, could arguably sue for unfair dismissal. You and I have very different definitions of "abuse". ..

Look, you didn't answer the question of MechQuest: Will you stop messaging users?

The rest you brought up, only they can answer, if  they choose to answer. They are under no obligation to answer you, but you are under an obligation to cease contact once requested. I will only say that this isn't a job position; this is a website owned by a commercial company, operating under US law with its own set of Terms of Usage, and - by their own rules - local admins can block for any reason (including no reason). Morality and ethics are a moot point.

If you want to go with analogies; this is like being fired from a job, either fairly or unfairly, and then proceeding to harass people in their workplace (and homes, as Community Central would count), by continually emailing and telephoning and accosting them. . . them asking you to stop, and then global staff telling you to stop, count as "restraining orders". You're breaking those restraining orders and continuing to go to your previous boss: "no, you will talk to me".

If you're concerned about fairness, remember "two wrongs don't make a right".

Just remember, you're not entitled to answers on this platform, but the users in question have - as far I've seen - been extremely clear and detailed in their responses to you. . . it feels a wilful ignorance at this point, as I honestly don't know how Mech can be any clearer if they choose to answer your questions. NoReplyz told you to stop constantly harassing people by asking the same questions over and over again, but you still asked them "how am I doing that"?

You don't seem to see what you're doing or why it's a problem.

I'm going to bow out, as it's up to Mech to decide to continue the discussion or shut it down, but I do want to say that this isn't anything close to "abuse". It isn't a job (to which you would have a contract and legal recourse). No one here has to explain themselves. No one involved has broken the ToU (except arguably yourself). And you have no leg to stand on.
