I came accross few members who are having temporal signature bans on bpip.org and decided to visit their profiles. To my surprise, their was no difference between them and unbanned users who are just offline since their "Current status" shows just "Offline" and there was no indication of their ban appearing on their profile information. This has caused a perceived difficulty like the one below:

Hence the need for an easier way to detect banned users. This got me thinking that if by any chance the bpip.org and other (if any) third-party site helping with this information stops working, there would be no easy way to detect banned users.

I think this fix can be added directly in the profile information as stipulated below:

Take for example the account below which is under ban






Instead of the "Current Status" being just "Offline" or "Online"






We can have this version

And it would be easier to know if a user is banned or not simply by checking his profile information. I believe a fix like this would help Fillipone continue his good services with a bit of ease and it would also make the forum profile information a bit richer.


What are your thoughts on this?.
