The user Symmetrick has been banned, so haters of this user can breathe a sigh of relief. So discussion of this issue has lost its relevance.
A bit OT but, has it ever been really discussed why the forum itself does not show banned users and why?
I know I have brought it up in the past, that knowing why would probably not be a bad thing, but was there ever any internal discussions as why not to show it?

I don't know why the forum doesn't show this kind of information to all users. I think theymos thinks that displaying such information to everyone is unnecessary. That this information is only for the staff. And yes, this issue was not discussed in the moderators section.
