Oh, that's very bad news, if correct. I've learnt such a lot from his comments and explanations, which he has always given so generously. And always with tolerance and courtesy. I hope he will be back soon.

Maybe a Moderator could explain what has happened and why all of his posts have been deleted - or would that be too much of an honest and upfront approach?
Either way Genghis can't even offer his view of these events and hence I question the point of PPrune if it's so heavily censored.

Banned? how do you get banned on here ?? I've had some pretty nasty back and forth's on here, usually while lost at sea with Captain Morgan and never got chipped out, cant imagine a professionally gentleman like GTE doing something that would get him booted.

Unbelievable. G recommended and advised on so many things for me, and on a few occasions I have met him personally. One of the most interesting people to sit and talk to... but above all I don't think I have ever met anyone else who comes close to his dedication to aviation and especially the GA world.
Truly a great loss to this forum and I hope to see him back here soon!!!

I think an explanation from the Moderators is not an unreasonable request. G the E was hardly a foaming at the mouth effluent disturber and I believe a very highly respected poster. This forum is appreciably diminished by his absence........

It certainly seems more and more every day that a new forum, not subject to the odd whims of whoever dictates this one, is needed. Until then I do know another excellent UK based forum that would suffice...

Though I suppose PPRuNe is private, and subject to the interests of the owner, on the other hand, it exists as a source of valuable information because of the effort filled posts of many of us. Not only has GtE dissapeared, but along with him, a whole bunch of other (including my) posts.
What did the rest of us do to deserve to be deleted too?

Having been on here for 12 years, I am saddened by this development.
GTE was always reasonable, helpful and generous with his (excellent) advice.
This place has gone down a long way in the past few years.

It is sufficient to say that the value of Genghis contributions has been appreciated.
However anyone who is a moderator has access to some very private information which we trust will never be abused or revealed. Confidentiality is a foremost priority with the forum. Some information can have far reaching consequences if disclosed, often beyond the appreciation of the person disclosing it. This is the way that the forum has operated with great success for over 16 years.
At this stage some important decisions are being made with regards what has happened and Genghis is fully aware of everything that is happening and why. Hopefully at the very minimum Genghis will be able to return as a contributor.
Due to the sensitivity of the matter and out of respect for the previous work of Genghis the thread is now closed and is a matter of private discussion.

Hi all,
This is just a brief announcement of the admin decision regarding Genghis the Engineer.
First, the admins sincerely apologize for the inadvertent outing of Genghis' name by one admin. This mention was unintentional and limited in duration. We have deleted that post as well as another that quoted the original post. If anyone sees more instances of such quoting, please let us know, and we will delete it.
Second, the admins have banned the username Genghis the Engineer for breach of other members' confidentiality. We must necessarily be vague here, as the matters are truly confidential, involving matters of law enforcement.
In recognition of Genghis' considerable contributions to PPRuNe over the years, his posts will remain up, and he will be free to return under a different username if he so chooses.
Due to the confidential nature of the facts involved, the admins are not at liberty to discuss them. This was a very difficult decision to reach, necessitating much fact finding and debate. Please respect that decision and limit discussion of it to private channels.
Sincerely,
PPRuNe Admins

A brief but necessary postscript -
The admins welcome back Genghis the Engineer as a valued member.
The facts involved remain necessarily confidential, but the parties involved have sorted out earlier unfortunate misunderstandings.
