Make obvious when user is banned

[Paul]

Is there any way to make it obvious if a user is banned?
Was thinking - maybe overlay prison bars over their profile pic... something like that.

Reason is that, other than a line through their username, there isnt an obvious way to tell at a glance

To all users or staff?

Create a Banned user group and add a banner, styling, title, etc.

Then use this option:

Well it's interesting.... (and it's been a long day!)

So the user was banned by the internal warnings system..(point accumulation). and was showing up with a line through them. However as part of a promotion, they were a member of another user group as a secondary. so whilst it shows them with a line through, it doesnt actually clearly show them as "banned" as such (No text or something to make it clear).

I modified as per your suggestion ("Banned" usergroup already exists, but needed to add the "Add usergroup on ban"), however it's done nothing... i am guessing that it needs something to run to reflect this? Have rebuilt the user Cache, however no change.

also interesting to note - just thrown Andy's add-on in, and that does nothing either ... so convinced something needs to happen to Update the user status...

Be aware that there are scenarios where you might not want the user to show up as banned, ie not make it obvious. It all depends on what you're after.

The point is to be obvious, so people dont carry on thinking they are going to answer their posts when on a 6 month "hiatus"

Yeah sure, that's why I said depending on what you're after.
