content: Perhaps integratedvalve would like to offer some deeper insight as so far there is nothing intelligible in his post, or perhaps he has confused this forum with another one of known disrepute.

content: A while back, when I instigated a ban on a user, I updated their profile to change their personal text to Banned. That may have been what you've seen.This didn't seem appropriate for a temporary ban so I stopped doing it.There is a mod to SMF, several actually, that either put the word Banned against a users details or replaces their avatar with something to indicate their naughtiness. Perhaps one of these mods could be installed. Dave?

content: Quote from: wilfred on January 24, 2014, 03:51:54 amWhen the user text was edited for a temporary ban then the user would have to change it back once the ban expired. If a banned user mod is used, then it would show a banned status for both temporary and permanent bans without any permanent changes to the users profile.For a permanent ban then perhaps seeing such a status would stop users posting follow-up posts? (Probably not)
