    I recently thought of a new idea to implement a ban tag if the user was banned from the forums. Sometimes, it can still be hard to determine if someone was banned from the forums or not. If they have a banned tag next to their username, than it means they've been banned from the forums. This will allow us more easily to know if someone was banned from the forums. Let's take TheguynamedToby as an example. People have told me that he made his profile private since it said his profile was unavailable. Yet, I've had people tell me he was banned. I'd like to know for sure, so if I see a ban tag next to his username, that means I'll have my answer. Since Putty has recently changed the staff tag system, I know it'd definitely possible to implement this idea.

    Another suggestion for banned members is to make their profile available to us forumers, so we can see if they're banned or not. If their profile is unavailable, than we won't be able to see if they have a banned tag next to their username or not.

    P.S. I don't know what colors the tag should be. I was originally thinking red, but the admin tag is already red. I'll let you guys decide what color it should be.

    Edit: Damnit, I forgot to click the option that would publicly display votes. :V

    Why not just remove them from the forums?

    Their names already have a strike-through.
    Ex: Tac42

    I looked at a message posted by Tac a while back, and his username didn't have a strikethrough across it.

    Tac42

    Edit: The strikethrough didn't work on the name. However, I do agree that everyone should be aware if a forum member is banned or not.

    This would be helpful. It is always good to know who is banned. But then again of the player was banned for false accusations then it would build a bad rep.

    Putty usually changes their custom title to Banned

    I had a feeling on that. But I once saw a banned member without a banned tag. :stuck_out_tongue:

    I like the Idea, but as Chris said, there is already a strike through the players name. Great idea though, keep it up!:smile:

    If you look at an old post Tac made, you'll see his username doesn't have a strikethrough across it.

    I'm on my computer, so I can't provide a screenshot. However, I PMed you a link to a thread that Tac replied on.

    I do not see it for some reason either (the strikethrough, not the BANNED title). I am using Safari, but I do not think that makes a difference.
    Is it a little odd that only the super mods/normal mods are seeing this?

    I like this idea, and it sounds nice, but the banned users may feel uncomfortable to know someone is snooping.

    Seems like a cool addition. Not sure if it will be very useful, but I support it!
