I'm the newest of the active deputies, so I can't answer all of the questions. I will answer the few that I know, however.
> 1. What is the status of old DNPs?
>
> Happyflower asserts that she was told that her old DNP was no longer valid under the new guidelines. Why? Could it be made enforceable?
All she'd have to do is to post the DNP request again, and inform Dr Bob and the deputies. It would be helpful to have a link to the offending post in the private message to Dr Bob and the deputies, but it needn't be posted on the board. In fact, it really shouldn't be posted on the board.
> 2. How is the recipient of the DNP to know the status of such a request?
>
>Or for an adminstrator to send an email to the person who is supposed to honour the request?
Only Dr Bob has access to registration information for people who post here. The deputies cannot email anyone, we can only use Babblemail if it's turned on. Therefore, while it would be nice to have notifications sent, we do not have the ability to do so.

> 4. What happens during the time a DNP is posted, and it is pending administrative validation?
I think it's probably worth erring on the side of caution here, and just not posting to someone who has asked you not to. (That's the general "you," not you-meaning-Larry) If the DNP is validated, and you've continued to post to the person who requested it, that does tend to show a bit of support for the need for a DNP request, n'est pas?

>
> 5. Why isn't improperly issuing a DNP any kind of offense?
I think this has been addressed, although I don't recall what the official penalties might be. Generally, there are limits here regarding complaints of any sort against other Babblers. There are rules regarding how many times you can report another Babbler's posts, if those posts are found acceptable. I'm not sure what Dr Bob has decided on regarding DNPs, but I'm sure he has limits on them, as well. It is his hope that a DNP is the last resort, and is only used if nothing else has resolved the conflicts between two Babblers.
