If we don't have a reinstatement policy in place we should have one [eta: I'm including "never" as a policy]. I don't understand what you see as "this situation". It's not like even she asked to come back.
Jayne, you'll scare the women.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I vote that we each wish Zoe well in our own way, but I don't think a message from the board is necessary.

Ann, that's a ferret.
And maybe we could come up with some sort of probationary reactivation of an account policy for this sort of situation...
No quarrel in theory. But since she hasn't asked to be reinstated, I don't see a need to hammer out the details now.
(ETA: Um, IOW, what ita said while I was xposting.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
By "this sort of situation" I mean where someone went off the rails and then tells us that they're back on.
No, she didn't ask (which just makes her seem more sincere to me personally), but she was a enthusiastic part of the community when she in good shape and it seems like a nice thing to do.

Personally, I think it's not worth it.
Imagine the debate about defining "rails" and being on and off them. And then we get into doctor's notes.

Hee!
I'm just tossing it out there-- spirit of the season and all that.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Good for Zoe's mental health.
I cannot express how strongly I think that, since she didn't ask to be reinstated, we just leave it alone. Please.
she was a enthusiastic part of the community when she in good shape
She never was in good shape, IIRC. I mean, while she posted here.

Absolutely not, at least not now. I'm sorry Zoe was having problems and I'm glad she's feeling better, and I think we should send her a message saying as much. But reinstating one banned poster would make it much harder to keep up the policy that bannings are permanent.

Nobody
I'm glad she's doing better. I was thinking about her when we were planning to be at PF.
I think Beverly has the right idea.

Yep.
A few of us have never been comfortable with permanant exclusion. Someone who was ill and now has their situation under control is a good example of why.
