Warning Level.

[Dave Hicks]

At this time, I believe you can PM a suspended person. Even if that changes in the future, suspensions and bans are so rare here that it's more likely that any lack of response is due to vacation, being busy, etc.

I say "at this time" because the current forum is only around a year and a half old and we may make further adjustments and refinements as we become more experienced. Many things can be adjusted both at the framework level and on an individual basis.
