In reply to Dr Bob: question about being blocked or PBC'd?, posted by Racer on May 20, 2005, at 19:02:40

Is there ever a period when, say, a PBC has been expunged from your record?

> Also, how many PBCs do we have to collect in order to receive a block?Yeah! I'd like to know the answer to this too. I got blocked after ONE PBC. I got my second block after my first block, with no more PBCs in between. So I Figured you get one warning (PBC) and from then on out, you start getting blocked and you never get a PBC again. But that can't be true, can it? (It doesn't seem that's how other PBCs/blocks work. I never felt any of my transgressions were as outrageous as some I've seen here, so I was suprised that retribution was so swift and sharp. Then I wondered if I just hadn't been a member long enough to have any cred.)
