GG and I both answered your question on this thread. I don't see that we're ignoring your questions.
With two deputies now on leave, and Dr. Bob away, I think it can be assumed that response will be slower than it was. I hope no one takes that personally.
To my knowledge no changes have been made since the new rules went into effect, and the information given to you by the deputy is correct.
I believe it's the specific reasons for the PDNP request that are supposed to be communicated to Dr. Bob or the deputies, I guess, off board. Also violations of the PDNP should be communicated through the notify the administrators function. If I'm incorrect in this, I'm sure someone will correct me.
I feel a bit pressured re the response time. Please don't pressure deputies or post negative conclusions you may have come to as to the reasons answers aren't immediately forthcoming, even if a deputy has visited the board. There can be many. A deputy might be consulting with other deputies or Dr. Bob, a deputy might have time to answer some posts but not all, a deputy might be thinking of how to word a reply, a deputy might feel another deputy or even a knowledgeable poster might be better able to answer a question, a deputy may not always read every post on a board they visit at any given visit or even at all. Nor does a deputy have a requirement to read every post or answer every question. Dr. Bob has said that a civil reminder can be given if no response is received within a couple of days.
Or a deputy might be doing the work they are paid for, or spending time with their families, or spending free time on or off the board.
