Hey, what has happened to?

[StevieTNZ]

Hey,

What's happened to Varon?

I searched his username and now it has a line in the middle of it. Banned?

He is no longer with us.

 

[Saitama]

I have found some usernames which doesn't have lines in middle but they are not bold as our usernames are. What does that mean?

 

[DaveC426913]

And JaredJames? Is he ever coming back?

 

[Evo]

Unless they have N/A under their names, that means that they never completed registration.

 

[Evo]

And JaredJames? Is he ever coming back?

I hope so, he wasn't banned, he left, but I am still in contact with him. He is such a wonderful person.

If anyone wants to contact jared, let me know.

But I thought members couldn't cancel their accounts and Mods wouldn't. In the past, people have been told that stopping their memberships consists simply of not making any more posts. I guess that's not the case now?

He requested to be banned, his account wasn't canceled.

Ah. If you talk to him again, let him know I was asking after him.

 

[Borek]

Please note old user can change his email address but later not follow the confirmation link - he then automatically becomes "unconfirmed" user. Sometimes it is accidental (mail problem), sometimes it is deliberate.

 

[mishrashubham]

What does N/A mean then?

I'll bite, rather then starting a new thread, what happened to nismaratwork?

He was temp banned, and he decided not to come back and requested a permanent ban.

Let me know if you wish to contact him.

 

[Insanity]

If possible that would be great, he had posted quite a bit in the craft beer thread, us beer nuts got to stick together.

I'll contact him and get back to you via PM. I really miss him in the food thread.

Insanity, Evo,

nismara is a friend of mine as well, I drop him e-mails when there is something I think he should see here on the forums. He was busy last time I sent him one about a week ago. He always gets back to me, I miss him too.

Rhody...

 

[Insanity]

Thanks, other then the craft beer thread, I don't think we really shared any other interests, but he seemed greatly interested and we replied to each other often.

 

[I like Serena]

I had an interesting exchange with nismaratwork too about dreams, where he showed himself to be quite a reasonable chap.
When I saw he had been banned it definitely drew my attention.

Thanks for the explanation.
I still wonder though what the point is of being banned permanently over simply being an inactive member?

Most people are banned as crackpots, or refusing to follow the rules, or both. A very few request a ban to prevent them from posting. Jared and nismar fall into the latter.

Of course, that actually makes a lot of sense!
But wait! That means all our frequent posters are at risk!
Like tiny-tim or micromass, or, god forbid, Evo!

Well I know that. But what does it mean when placed under someone's username?

And does that mean nismaratwork will never be able to post on PF again?

Well, it's not that Evo never banned me before... I just never requested it

Sorry Evo :tongue:

 

[jhae2.718]

Ban micro!

 

[Evo]

Well I know that. But what does it mean when placed under someone's username?

I believe it means that they no longer show up on searches, even though you might still stumble on one of their posts

And does that mean nismaratwork will never be able to post on PF again?

Nismar is not N/A, he requested a permanent ban, so technically, yes, he could come back. I doubt that he will.

If you contact them next time, tell them it's not cool at all.
