A page for banned and temp banned posters, along with an explanation of why they were banned, would be useful, and on some other boards is one of the most entertaining features.Maybe 'SUSPENDED' and 'BANNED' would work?
Why should the administrators have to explain to you who they banned and why? It's not our business. Obey the rules of USMB and
It would be nice if there was a way to determine whether a poster is banned only temporarily or permanently. The reason being is that sometimes I read threads that were started by a banned member that I would like to reply to, but if the poster is permanently banned, why bother? Perhaps when a member is permanently banned, the word "banned" under their screen name could be a different color? That would help. Thanks for listening.
Why would you respond to them if they are under a ban at all, Chris? If the Admin banned them - temporarily or permanently - they should respect the decision of Admin and not post at all. If they are going to disrespect the rules and those who took the time to create this board and maintain it - you should realize they have no respect for anyone including themselves.
Anyone who continues to sneak onto a board - under banned title - or under a new screen name is a very desperate / unstable individual and someone that should not be trusted. It is better to respect the wishes of Admin and have nothing to do with them.
I'm referring to threads or posts that the "banned" member created before he or she was banned.
Personally? I would ignore anything they wrote about entirely, Chris. Why encourage them? Listen, when a banned member sneaks back on the board under another name and hints to others who they are? They are inviting the members here to join them in their rebellion - it is an insult to the people who have worked to clean up this board and get it to where it is today (which is 10,000 times better than it was a few years ago). Out of respect for CK and others who run this board? I wouldn't.
You misunderstand. I am referring to posts or threads that the "banned" member created BEFORE being banned.
I haven't misunderstood you at all, Chris. Whatever they have written before being banned - should be ignored - if the Admin could delete it all - it would be that much better. Out of sight, out of mind.
