"Start Conversation" button missing on some profile(s)/ PCTree

[southsoundtree]

I was just going to Message Paul/ PCTree, but the Start Conversation button is not available.

His profile says he was active 2 minutes ago.

Anyone else have this problem with any profiles?

 

[oldoakman]

Just hit your profile and the button is there.

 

[southsoundtree]

Try PCTree's profile, please.

Try PCTree's profile, please.

I am noting the same thing. I can go to your profile and message you, but Paul's is unmessageable. Maybe he requested it from the admins?

You can prevent anybody to start a conversation with you w/o the help of an admin.

It is under http://www.treebuzz.com/forum/account/privacy , then on the right side of the screen
Allow users to... Start conversation with you (members only - people you follow - nobody)
I guess Paul ticked 'nobody' or the folks he follows..

 

[southsoundtree]

Actually, it turns out he is 'banned' for some reason.

 

[Batla]

Ah.. OK!

 

[Leroy]

why?

 

[southsoundtree]

good question...inquiring mind want to know.

 

[oldoakman]

Just taking a guess but my money would be on his issue with Sherrill and how vocal he is about it. Wish that wasn't the case because he is a good guy.

Fuck Sherrill! Free PCTree!

I set my privacy options to not allow private conversations from myself. The voices in my head are really pissed off about it.

The chip is working, excellent.

I'd like Paul Cox back as well. Is the ban irrevocable? Kind of surprised... Paul seems like a decent guy.

@Tom Dunlap I don't want to make things awkward, but what's going on with Paul and can it be fixed?

 

[Tom Dunlap]

This is admin issues. It could be awkward. Not laundry for public discussion.

Sorry to be this way but that's the way it is. Negotiations are ongoing

I respect that. Hope you all work it out.

true

 

[treegongfu]

With all respect to the admins. I think pctree is an invaluable member.

 

[southsoundtree]

Yep

 

[TreeCo]

It's money talking.

Fuck Sherrill! Free PCTree!

Yes.

 

[treegongfu]

Yes.

I would think so but the admins provide this platform to us so I have to be understanding of their predicament.

Pctree is righteous and aggrieved. He also seems to be uncompromising on this issue.

He is very gifted at contributing to the advancement of the industry and incredibly generous in sharing his time and knowledge.

I hope the negotiations are to get Sherrill to accept that suppressing pctree's speech will further tarnish the perception of them by the online community.
