Staff should post a thread in a private section when a member gets banned. Only upgraded members would be able to see these threads.
For example if a member was to be banned it would say X = banned or something like that.
Then in the thread it would show the reason and for how long. It would be better than having everyone ask around and making threads asking why a member was banned.
Unless we can get the bans.php back.
Yep, it would be much easier just looking at a ban page instead of staff posting a thread every single time.
Especially if the accounts we ban are spam accounts..
The bans.php page is a much simpler way to go instead of making a whole thread about a ban.
Plus, bans.php would be available to all members instead of just having it so only upgraded members could see it.
