if someone is banned from posting to the boards, why are they allowed to post but cant be seen...banned from posting should mean just that... no posting at all ..nada...niente...none...zilch...zero........
Under the current system the only people who talk to him are the only people that are allowed to read what he has to say, so where is the "punishment"
Bernice: There is a difference between a hide and a ban. I am not sure what the purpose of just hiding someone is, maybe if you want them to be able to post and respond to posts, so that they can be seen after the hide is lifted???
Czuch: in this particular case where violent threats were made against members and mods, a banning would be more appropriate....not necessarily a total banning from the site, but take away ALL posting rights....then if they are re-instated at any time if the person persists with the threatening ways, then ban him/her from the site.
Bernice: That sounds like the appropriate measure to me too!
Like i said earlier, hiding someone should only be done when you want a post to be modified, and you want the poster to do it themselves, and then to be taken of hide.
But lately, moderators have taken it upon themselves to edit posts at their own discretion, and they have used the hide option when they should be using the ban option
