I think this forum will be more active if people dont get banned too much.

I suggest banning people for a week or two if they break the rules but only admins and moderators should know they are banned. I know this can be done because I wasn't "banned" yet I could not post in another forum until the freeze was lifted from my account.

Seeing the label of "permanently banned" or "temporarily banned" in almost every thread of discussion gives a negative energy in my opinion.

Any thread in particular where you got this negative energy?

A thread with 20 banned Ids does not ALWAYS equal a thread that had 20 individuals posting


In TG or anywhere for that matter

Here is one:

It's just a suggestion, that if someone is banned, only the admins and mods know it. I think it will look better that way for everyone else.

I would honestly not be surprised if some banned members really had over 100 accounts. Note that most of the people being banned are paid posters who probably continue to create accounts once they are banned. Allowing them back after a week would not be a smart move. Allowing members to see who are banned allows them to distinguish between real members and these paid posters.
