I'm pulling this from another thread in hopes of not derailing things further...
We (or "I" at least) don't see a strikethrough on a user's name when they've been banned. For the user in question, the name still shows up normally, and the mouse-over data still works exactly as it used to. If I click on the name, I get a page that says "Oops! We ran into some problems." But there's nothing for us normal users to tell us they won't be returning.
I checked a couple of other known cases, and found that things are a little inconsistent. For some ex-users the name is still there, but there is no link to their user page. For other ex-users, the name is changed to "Guest User" or "Guest XXXXXX", where the Xs are their user ID. I haven't found an instance yet where the name has a strikethrough, although I do remember seeing that on older versions of the board.
Browser is Firefox, up to date, if it matters.
Mod Note:
Folks may note the strikethrough on their username.
To be clear, the ban on this user is now permanent. They will not be responding to posts.
