Discussing Deleted Posts, Board Warnings, Sanctioned or Suspended Members Grounds for Immediate Post Removal, Board Sanction or other action •Discussing or reposting deleted posts, warning letters, or discussion of sanctioned or no longer registered members. This policy prevents repetition of violations by others who, by quoting something that was inappropriate, thus commit the same violation themselves. It also helps members avoid encouraging others to violate policy. Many of the principles discussed under the “Posting auction reports or member violations” rule also apply to the discussion of removed posts, warning letters for posting infractions, or of sanctioned or suspended members. It is inappropriate to talk about others who are not able to post due to being sanctioned from the boards or suspended from eBay. Courtesy recognizes that it is unkind to "talk behind someone's back" and this policy helps to foster this understanding. Some examples of behavior that violates this rule are: Posting demands to know why one (or another member) received a warning or Board Sanction Posting statements addressed to a moderator about their removal of a post or posts Posting complaints about members who use the Report Button Using euphemisms to tell others that a post was removed or that you received a warning Starting threads to encourage others to “support” a member or members who have said they have received warnings Members may, of course, when asked or needing help, mention that another member is now NARU or Sanctioned from the boards. However, once the appropriate help is given, discussion of that aspect should then cease, and extraneous comment be avoided. Members who wish to discuss eBay Boards policy are welcome to do so, provided the discussion is kept general, and does not include specific examples. eBay staff cannot comment on actual instances of violations, but can discuss generally with you what various policies mean.
