How to tell a user is Banned.

[Guy Fawkes]

Not Correct. Timed Out User are Indicated by their username have a strike through line.

It used to be indicated and the management decided to remove that indication.

At one point, when someone was timed-out it used to state the person was on time out in words under their avatar. I'm pretty certain I'm not imagining that. That is what I was referencing.

 

I thought I read that it was decided to get rid of or turn that feature off. Is that not correct?

FYI, I don't see this anywhere so I can't tell if no one I checked is on time-out or something else.

+1 @Guy Fawkes I'm not seeing any sort of strike through line?

That is not correct. That was change that came in a software update. For Example look at any of the @nynakedtop posts

What should we be seeing to show the poster is on time-out?

This is how these posts appear to me also.

It might be that only the Moderators can see that strike through the user’s name.

Yes. The quickest way for me to determine a time out is if I can no longer start a conversation with the member.

[Guy Fawkes]

I'll take a look around, I do know that it's addressed in XenForo 2; Might have been changed in Xenforo 1 and Just needs to be turned on

[Guy Fawkes]

It would appear that you're correct. Only moderators/administrators can see the banned users. The writers of the software consider it to be a privacy issue. Will look for a solution; more like to be in the Xenforo2 version.

FWIW...I understand the privacy issue, but I've always felt that it would be helpful to other members when we are notified that a poster has been banned for violation of the TOS. Especially in the case of a poster who is attacking or harassing other members. Doing it publicly would also put other offenders on notice that the Grinch is lurking...

[MikeBiDude]

When I look for NYNakedtop, it says "Profile not available." There is no such message on Avalon's profile, so I'm guessing no time-out. Maybe he's with family for Thanksgiving? Hopefully not in the hospital or worse....

But you can’t “start a conversation” with either of them...usually a sign a user has been timed out. I agree when yuh click on their user name their info screens look a bit different from each other.

[Guy Fawkes]

I tend to agree with you. Given my druthers I'd want it to only be visible to logged-in users. Concentrating on the sandbox version first.

Fixed in sandbox, relatively easy to do. Expect it when we upgrade the main system. Thread Closed.
