Author Topic: Getting banned: A question on what happens.  (Read 1182 times)

When someone gets banned, I often see that their avatar has the word "BANNED" on it, or that they have something about them being banned in their signature or in that "Personal Text" thing under their avatar. I'm asking how they do that. When banned, does a person still have access to their account or something, but just can't post? Or do they get a short trial period before they're banned where they can't post? The only other thing I can think of is that Badspot does it himself, but that seems very unlikely.

When a person gets banned, they can't send PMs or post anything, but they can still browse the forum and modify their profile, thus letting them change their avatar saying "LOLOLO I GOT BANNED :D".

At the top it says; "Sorry, ____ you have been banned from posting or sending PM's.
<Reason here> <amount of time here>"

Alright, thanks guys. Locking.
