Display if a user is banned

[rudi]

Dear @Duome Team or @duome,

recently you announced the following:

As a precautionary to keep the forum's content from being compromised, we've initiated a one-week allowance for editing from the time of any initial submission. During this one-week window, members can make adjustments to their posts, but they will be locked from editing thereafter.
...
There are other forums and some social media platforms that also exercise this practice, some with a shorter time-frame to edit.

In other forums, there are also a lot of another options, like the following:

For instance, if a user is banned or kicked out, this information should be displayed under his avatar. That would be only fair! So one can know, why this user is not posting anymore. Otherwise it would look like a kind of extra punishment or something.

Having a "banned" label under one's avatar might be perceived as even more severe punishment.
You can view users' activity in their profile to assess whether they are likely to show up again.

I get your idea, but in fact it would be just a neutral notification about the momentarily (or permanently) state. When the ban is over, it will be vanishing and so everything will be normal again.

I mean, there are reasons, why the vast majority of other forums does that. And I never saw anybody complain about that.

Well, you can also tag banned users.
Makes no sense.

There is ZERO information about this fact that some (at the moment I know of one person) are not around here anymore.

There is no extra punishment. If someone was banned, I'm sure anyone who had followed some of an individual's activity will come to their own conclusions why they're no longer around. I'm not personally in favour of exposing one's ban. Any ban here is always done with deliberation, and in a lot of cases, done after a period of warning (sometimes more than once, depending on the community guideline offense). Some platforms just pull an account after one mishap, and others will do it automatically if there is reporting abuse. Here, we're a community that can actually speak with the members to work on improvements being made, in hopes that we can move forward.
