Based on an idea by Anonymous User.

It is quite unsettling that we don't have something to show if a user is banned or not, so it would be nice to have a mark of some sort. Anonymous User suggested changing a banned user's name from blue to red, which sounds like a good idea. Or we could identify them with a "Banned User" avatar or title.

I meant all the blue in a post (possibly barring the name) would be changed to a similar shade of red.

Like the light blue atop posts would be a similarly light red.

We decided a while ago that we did not want to provide notifications or any other form of announcement that a user is banned, as it only encourages people to troll for the sake of getting on the list. Trolls use banlists as a badge of honor.

This is going to need another sticky, isn't it?
