I have been doing a little bit of digging and it seems silvers banning stems from actions on another hub. As a leader on this hub I am only able to see the violations that are flagged on the hubs that I represent. I can undelete a post that I feel is not a violation, however in this case silverback has been banned and all the posts in question are unavailable to me. Since I have not received a response from agoracom I will have to wait till I hear the official version of the violations. Silverback has been the devil's advocate on this hub and his opinions have sometimes rubbed a small minority of members the wrong way. I, on the other hand have valued his apparent experience and contrarian point of view as an important part of the discussion as a board of like minded individuals will quickly run out of things to discuss. He has proven his expertise time and time again and as long as he continued to act like a gentleman I looked forward to what he had to say. We are all grown ups and there are enough of us here to sort through the BS.
