Can someone please explain to me why, for example, a question says it has 24 replies but when I view it there are only 15? I'm confused.

@InOtterWords So I've just found out. They must have blocked me for some reason because I haven't blocked anyone. Thanks. :-)

@InOtterWords Nope. Blocking shows as, "comment deleted". SW also count responses as replies

@SW-User There's one comment that's been deleted, but I can assure you I haven't blocked anyone. That's a mystery to me. Oh well.

@Zoranna most aussies get blocked on this site, im blocked by so many i cant keep up and you hardly see nedkelly anymore because people are reporting him
Stupid Americans with no sense of humour are most to blame
Hope nth korea bombs them soon :)

@SW-User
Nope. As long as no one made a comment on their replies they stay hidden for the ones blocked. I've seen this many times and then at a later point I can see the reply as deleted after someone made a reply for them.

@Zoranna
I'm not ware by which criteria people block someone they never interacted with but I know it happens as I have experienced this too. Others did block me after some interaction, and I am not grieving that they chose to block me, it should give all of us a better time here. Lol.

@ExtremeNext what do they have against Aussies?

@ExtremeNext Really? That surprises me actually. Why are people reporting Ned, he's harmless. :-( I have a very good friend who's American who has good sense of humour so can't agree with you there. :-)

@Zoranna americans have no idea what banter is and aussie banter is so different to that in the usa
What is a normal joke in Australia is considered by most yanks as being rude or offensive

@ExtremeNext Yep, I get your point but I try not to generalise. To those who don't get our sense of humour, it's their loss. :-)

@ExtremeNext most Americans do get it, it's just the vocals one that don't.

@Zoranna to bloody right!

@Zoranna has Ned been banned?

@InOtterWords I've no idea, jeepers I hope not. I like Ned. :-(

@Zoranna he hadn't, I just checked. I like him too

@Zoranna he has been warned but I don't think banned

@InOtterWords Good, what a relief. Thanks. :-)

@Shutterbug Baylon has just said he hasn't been which is good news. What did he do to get a warning?

@Zoranna it's on his profile page

@Shutterbug Oh! Thanks, I'll have a look.
