Why user was banned in profile... by Mike on 05-19-2004 at 11:11 AM
Hmmm...
WDZ can you add something in the user's profile (banned users) to say the reason the user was banned?
Because its a bit stupid and boring to ask at T&T why the user was banned...

That has already been suggested and the forum staff said they don't have to say why a member has been banned and that you don't have to worry about those things.

Bah puttin that there to me looks like an invasion of privacy ( i mean if u done something wrong would u want everyone ta know what u did?)..i'm pretty sure they get told why they are banned.

We staff do have a good reason (sometimes good reasons 
) to ban a user. The reason is shared by us all, staff members. I personally don't think there is a need to let you know everything...I mean, our decision is...kinda final (Oh well, mine isn't, but admin's is.)

If its not announced, then it isnt any of your business and you shouldnt be worrying about it.
Generally users are banned for spamming the forums.. A good example of this is a user who recently had his name changed (hint: chaos_grenade).

I do have a suggestion of e-mailing the user who we ban with a reason automatically through the account they registered on this forum with. Just one minute seeing a normal forum, then the next seeing a no permissions page.
Unless banned users see another page?
Maybe I should talk about this is Forum Staff. O_o

I think that's a good idea. I didn't realise that banned members didn't get told.

I think, if there WAS this area in user profiles, there would be a lot of "Because I felt like it" or "
" or "Just...because!"
