Hi there, ive been using this site for a couple of years now and when ive searched to look for threads started by users who used to be on here (wont name) theyve had their user name removed and replace with "user1" "user2" as a result of being banned.

Just a suggestion then, for the sake of making the search function for those particular threads easier, why not have the persons name still on and underneath "account disabled" or something similar. not an attack, just a suggestion .Happy New Year

Banned accounts, or who have requested to be removed, have all of their profile information removed from the account. That is hinged on if they have contributions to the forum -to maintain integrity and flow of information their contributed content is not deleted.

The policy developed was based off of the request to remove profile information by the owner of the account. This happens in 99.9% of the time when someone departs the board, whether it's on their terms or ours so we've applied it to ALL banned or removed accounts as policy.

As always, thanks for the input, however this one will not be changed I find the policy maintains the best interests of the account owner.
