I've noticed while surfing through threads that some members have a rasied line (strikethrough) in their name. Does this mean that they are blocked (banned from server)? Everything else makes sense, like the colors coresponding to importence of site.

I believe that denotes a user who is no longer registered, but whose posts are still saved.
 
Some users are ímported'from the old-style user groups, eg. sci.physics

When boulderhead moved back to the jungle, he requested that his account be made inactive.
 
Thanks for all the information, I just wanted to make sure I was assuming correctly.
 
As long as the line remains BENEATH your name, you're momentarily safe, though!:smile:
 
The momentairly part just makes that statement hillarious. no sarcasm intended.
