(11,463 posts)(Posting Priveleges Revoked) but a relatively few (in my observations) are restored to Active.
As the previous reply indicated, 5 removed posts in 90 days gets one automatically "FFR'd" by the software, but I've seen some get FFR'd for other reasons.

(15,525 posts)The poster Im asking about is a long time DUer. Its no longer possible to see the number of posts hidden - or else Im not savvy enough to find that information.
I wouldnt think that someone who had been banned from posting would worry about coming back. They would just go elsewhere.
Too bad. Guess it happens. Thanks for the info.

(11,463 posts)Click on the "explain" of "Chance of serving on Juries: 80% (explain)"
(80% or whatever the case may be.)
And it will reveal some statistics like for example, this:
200 or more days of membership: +20
20 or more posts in the last 90 days: +20
Star member: +40
1 posts hidden in 90 days: -20
TOTAL: 80
The next to last line is the number of posts hidden ("removed" in most DU software terminology).
If the person has been FFR for a while, e.g. several days, realize a post or two might have fallen out of the 90 day window and you may see e.g. 3 or 4 posts hidden. But at one time earlier they had 5 in 90 days.
On people coming back from an FFR - they might have had a bad day where they got emotional and posted in anger and got like say 3 hides (posts removed) in the same thread within minutes of each other. And if they already had 2 hides already, they've reached 5. (doesn't have to be in the same thread, doesn't have to be within minutes of each other, that was just an example of how easily and quickly it can happen on a bad day)
One can appeal any hide, among other ways of contacting the admins, and explain and promise to do better and maybe get changed back to active by admin action.

(11,463 posts)"explain" and have remembered since because I do it so (too) often to forget. 🤣
