    Or not banned. Have seen quite a few non-subscribers with "Banned" under their name, but still with their abilty to on that forum.

    A glitch in the Matrix?

    Aye. But what is the reasoning behind it? Once, it was to let other people know that who were banned in that forum, but it seems that although the ban was lifted, the people still have the "banned" tag under their name.

    No, the Banned tag means you're site-banned, not forum banned. People who put Banned in the tag, but are still posting, are subscribers. They just may not be identified as part of that group though, so the stars remain the same as for a non-subscribed user.

    It shouldn't be allowed even for subscribers IMO.

    I thought "banned" wasn't allowed to be used under your name - likewise if a subscriber tried to put "moderator" under their name, it doesn't show up.

    "Banned" is one of the censored words which may not appear in a user title. There are currently no non-banned subscribers with the word banned in their user title.

    OP: Can you link me to some examples?

    Yep, but Tom Dunne is an Admin and hence immune from the censorship of user titles.

    Is "Senior Developer" a banned phrase?

    No, but it would be em... unwise to play games with that or similar titles. :D

    Can non-moderators put "moderator" as their tagline?
    Yes. Yes they can.

    There are 19 users who are not moderators who have "moderator" in their user title. None of them were put there by the users.

    Looking at the names, it's either that they set it before the ban on "moderator" in user titles went in or they weren't de-modded properly.

    Note to site developers..

    If a subscriber puts "banned" "admin" "Moderator" under their user name, is it possible to have it that they see it as what they typed, but the rest of the site see it as "epic assclown"

    Just checkin :pac:



    Edit, personally, if i do subscribe, i will be changing mine to "Registered abUser"
