A dirty little habit of mine has long been to view the post referenced in "reason for ban" on the user's profile, which is no longer possible given that during the ban, all posts are removed. I would sugguest that "This User's Post Has Been Removed" should only work in case of Permaban (which is a better system than outright post deletion that occurred under the permaban system previously), also because "This User's Post Has Been Removed" seriously disrupts the flow of a conversation, which is especially annoying in the cases of short-term bans, especially if you're reading a thread that had nothing to do with why they were banned in the first place

That's nice to know.

You shouldn't resort to fixes... I'm with Mr,Khan.

+1

agreed?

Well here's what happened. I asked the site coder Joe to make it so that permabanned accounts' comments on articles were deleted automatically so i didn't have to manually go through and delete like 30 comments when some damned bot goes on a spamming spree. Unfortunately I think he misunderstood and this is what came of it. I haven't caught him on AIM (pretty much how I talk to anyone on staff) yet to try to get things all fixed.

so, sorry about that. It isn't really by design.

This is an interesting topic =p

And I agree with it.

lol. That facebook thread you ran was in part inspiration for this, A because i couldn't see the comment that got you banned when i saw that you were, and B because your entire thread was incomprehensible

lulz funny stuff undeed.

Agree with OP.
