well it was funny when the first few people did it [not here other forums] now using it here is just lame....and annoying. its not funny anymore, if you think it is chances are you missed it the FIRST time round, a decade ago...

EI like other forums should just ban the use of that phrase. and ban I mean disallow it as a phrase to be put in there like a swear filter! and keep it for users that are ACTAULLY banned, oh and have adifferent display for those who are banned for a posting holiday and those who are banned as a premaban - the coding guys will know what I mean

ones like, Banned User, banned user, banneduser, banned_user,banned-user.... you get the idea
