Does a banned person get all their posts removed?

[Dolt]

I thought if your BANNED from AB then all your posts get removed?
A poster I like seems to be banned, yet all their posts are still there.
Why's that?

[anneasquith]

is anyone else aware that it appears some abers are suggesting that the op is a banned user ? if so, how can you tell ?

[jackthehat]

I'm not suggesting it, anne....I'm saying it quite blatantly.

Close attention to detail; same as always.

You have to google their name to find a post with their name/avatar on it, then click on their name/avatar and it will reveal their status. If you cant find their name at all then they are now persona non grata.

Grasscarp:
Moderators will normally only ban someone under the most clear cut of circumstances. For example I repeatedly banned someone the other night who kept appearing with a username including a four-letter word which usually starts with 'c' (but they'd replaced with a 'k'). Since that person was posting similar language (on every thread in all categories) it wasn't hard to decide whether to ban him or not.

I've never banned (or, indeed, suspended) any of the 'regulars' on this site. If anyone did have a bad night (because, for example, of a little too much booze) I'd only suspend them; it would then be up to the Ed to decide whether to reinstate them later, or to ban them.

Hi Anne, thanks for pointing that out to them.

[ummmm]

She's good for that Dolt. Just in case anyone missed it we can rely on Anne to bring it up again.

That's a complicated way of checking on someone's status, Grasscarp. I just click on ANY avatar and then change the username in the resulting URL.

Dolt by name...

[grasscarp]

Buenchico. You are as fair and level headed as you are knowledgeable. A rare thing nowadays. Thank you for the clarification.

[ummmm]

Lol Grass...Like Chris says, just click on a user name and change it in the address bar. Or put their name into the search box here :-)

jack, i know we have discussed this issue before, but i dont have the inclination to delve into so much " fine detail " i take abers as i find them.

[Dolt]

AS NOX says, I'm a dolt by name.

[jackthehat]

Well, you continue to do that, then.........

[ummmm]

Then don't keep mentioning Anne. Or, pay more attention to peoples writing style.

[anneasquith]
