Banning private message use

I wish there was some sort of expiration on these revokes. I've been left in the dark without a PM system and suffer greatly because I'm unable to build bonds with so many people I'd love to talk to. Sorry for the narcissistic thread, but I'd like to get some closure on this.
I've put in appeals but have gotten no response. Anyone chime in? Is this a common practice?

PM bans were actually added as a lenient alternative enforcement option. For much of our history, if you were found to be buying or selling illegal drugs on the site, you would simply be permabanned. Period. By banning people from the PM system, we allow them to continue to participate on the site but we still protect ourselves legally.
I understand it's frustrating, but apparently you were caught two separate times trying to buy or sell drugs via PM. We must make a good-faith effort to prevent this type of activity on the Shroomery so we don't draw the attention of law enforcement and put ourselves and our members at risk. I know it's not ideal, but if you want to talk to people privately you can always list an e-mail address or alternate contact instructions in your profile.

Consider signing up for a free Google Voice account if you don't already have one! That way you won't have to give out your real number.

Ythan... What is the legal status or whatever of this site? Like when they come bitching, what angle do they approach from?
