What is going on over at PW?! Gombessa's profile is marked banned. I can only imagine that this is an easy way to handle a vacation because going from moderator to banned is weird, to say the least.
I had used the "Report Post" feature against my own post (the one that probably triggered the private message to me, since it's the only thing I had responded to that person in quite some time), so that all the moderators would see it and have it "officially" documented, especially since this person has a history of stirring up drama. But I don't think Gombessa ever saw it if he's banned.
I just sent him a private message so hopefully will get an explanation. I'm assuming that he can still receive messages, just not post.
