When a username has a strikethrough, does that mean they are banned?

being banned sucks. is there an appeals' process or once you get banned, its all over.

It shouldn't be an issue, just make sure you're familiar with https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=5374".

Just remember if you do get banned, you will be damned for all eternity to walk the depths of hell with a burden of 100 stones.

At the risk of contradicting our Lord and Master, it also applies to those who have asked to be deleted from the site - slightly different from banning.

Usually bannings for first-time infractions are temporary. I don't think it's often that members are permanently banned without previous warnings or temporary bans - unless it's obvious they're just here to troll.

We do have a "ban on sight" policy for obvious spammers, e.g. someone registers and then immediately posts something like "sell world-brand laptop,printer,headphone etc", or something that on first sight looks like an empty-headed response to a thread but on closer inspection contains links to sites that are selling stuff.

Otherwise we ban only after repeated warnings and/or infraction points.
