You are a staff member, can you comment on what is the difference between the type of ban on o_e_l_e_o's account and someone that gets banned for any rule infringements, like plagiarism? I mean, why doesn't it show as banned on BPIP's website but only if you have the BPIP extension installed?
I have the same question too.
There is also something that I noticed in o_e_l_e_o's thread.
o_e_l_e_o said: "In a week or so, once this thread has run its course, I'll ask theymos to lock this account."
Is locking something different? Perhaps something that acts like a ban, but not in the sense of "I ban you for insulting". I hope it makes sense.
