Seems against. Cheetory6 isn't dumb, so, gonna assume he's not supporting the stupid suggestion. :)

If someone is banned in one part of the site, and not another, what would be the point of giving them this title? What does it accomplish? And is that goal worthwhile?
I think it should onpy apply yo permabans.

It lets people who are reading ols posts and threads know that the user is no longer around and warns of explicit content in a sense!

If you're reading old posts then why is it even relevant if those people are still around? Are you really going to try contacting someone you never knew because of a post from several years ago?

I don't understand the resistance to this

If someone wanted to make a button that appeared in every post and it said "click me" In comic sans and when you clicked it it made a fart noise I would support it because it's more and more is always better

Like most perma banned people obv didn't care enough about the site to respect it or others or w/e they got banned for why does it matter if they get a banned title why are you wasting thought on something that really doesn't matter.

If banned people didn't care enough about the site why do others care so much about what title they get and what it represents etc.

Dude I just want to be able to tell at a glance that someone got banned

Actually, I don't even. I just think it would be neat and there would be utility in it and if *insert current title fairies name here* felt like doing it moving forward I would nod and smile and then sip my coffee and go back to doing whatever it was I was doing before I was nodding and smiling and sipping my coffee

I mean I don't see any downside to giving banned users a title, unless the process of applying a title is a lot more difficult for psyche than I think it is

why do you need to tell that

either (a) it's a short ban and you remember from the thread or (b) it's a permaban and is either recent enough that you know about it or old enough that you don't know the user anyway as they don't post

I feel like it's a solution for a problem that doesn't exist. Or at least, one that I've never had.

I've got some speakeasy related ideas that would be way more fun than a boring title.

How did a legit title nom for RC get shutdown harder than troll titles for banned users that won't care or won't matter.

More is not always better, and while I understand the idea behind giving banned users a title that signifies they are banned, it just doesn't seem like it'd add all that much value.
