> It occured to me that a DNP posted on one board may not be seen right away by the person who's been asked not to post. I suppose there could be a scenario where the person who's been asked not to post is happily posting away on another board before they get to the board where the DNP is posted. So they are not intentionally breaking the DNP, because they don't yet know about it.

I've also asked why I got blocked for a change to the DNP rule that was not made public, other than in the musings of a small handful of Babblers on some obscure sub-thread. Upon being notified of that rule change, I obeyed. But I got blocked anyway.
I have asked this question many times before. It touched a nerve.
The DNP is a bad rule. It should be temporary. Expiry in 24 hours? A week?
I don't even agree with the premise it supposedly relies on. What happened to personal responsibility? As in, "Don't read posts by X. They seem to upset me."
