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 summary. This has caused a perceived difficulty like the one below:
So we are taking about the Signature ban users here ? As far as I understand, someone who is banned from wearing a signature can still post and do other activities on the forum, correct ? So there is no point in showing them as Signature banned on their profiles. Although most of these people would leave the forum once they know they couldn't put a signature and hence cannot participate in campaigns.
I don't see any problem with sending merit to banned accounts as it is for high quality posts regardless of the account status.
But priority will be given to unbanned accounts as that means 0.5 sMerit that may be available.
Can't the signature banned send the merits ?
