Hopefully just a simple request here: could we have a standard message that a user's title is changed to when they are banned?

I know of at least one case where a user was banned (obvious troll is obvious) and a comment was made about it in one thread this person was "participating" in, but none of the others. I find it useful to see in a more permanent fashion that a user has been given the axe.

Maybe some thing like "Forum+R" or some other Go themed title? ;)

Hopefully this doesn't need to be used (often), but as we continue to grow, we're going to get the occasional user who needs to get the harsh treatment. :evil:

They can always just create another user, so I don't think it is a good idea to build a 'hall of fame' for them - that's how they might see it.

Better ignore the troll as much as possible.

They can do that anyway; and there are different ways of banning people that make it "harder" to create another user.

I mainly like this because it helps keep the users informed. I have also seen this used on other forums, larger than L19, without the "hall of fame/shame" response (sharkyforums fish/shark themed titles had an associated "Sleeps with the Fishes" that I remember to this day, main reason why I thought of this).

Eh, just my opinion. If people don't like it we don't have to do it. ;) (Even if I don't completely agree, I appreciate the fast feedback. :))

I mostly agree with SpongeBob, but how often do you get to use the phrase "Off Board Tenuki" and have it be a pun?

How would it encourage them for it to read "banned" where the rest of us have "lives in sente" and the like?

See, this is what I was looking for. ;)
