> 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.)

> MinnieI don't think that was it. In your case I'm pretty sure it was because the post you were P.B.C'd on was personal, and so was the second, though the second was disguised.
If you are negative toward a particular poster you are more likely to be blocked after your first P.B.C.
You can also get a quick block if you are P.B.C'd on a thread and then continue being uncivil on the same thread.Oh my who knew I would ever be giving people information on the civility guidelines?
