Regarding Banned Users

[Blaze]

The only way to effectively remove all SPAMMERS/Bannee's (I probably spelled it horribly wrong) is to Prune.

And what happens when the staff prunes and peoples post count drops... They complain... There probably is a hack to prune users posts directly, but I am too tired to search for it atm.

Ty, have you been to the old community? It's had far worse than this, I'll tell you.

No, I haven't.

That isn't important either. What's important is what's happening now, and whether you're going to sit back or do something about it.

Doesn't seem to happen in phpBB (which the Buzzboard uses) Only if threads are individually delted, the post count drops.
When MW has to ban somebody from the board, he usually deletes *all* posts, and threads that that user posted.

Delete old accounts/posts? Nuuuuu!
That'd delete all the old (and now unfortunatly locked) threads I still go over. Really fond memories here, and since I can't remember them myself, I fall back here to go through them again. Deleteing them would be a really big shame, and would probably cause a lot of strife around PC.
And if I'm not mistaken, its the text that loads before the images do, so you don't actually have to wait for them to load before you can read. That's what the stop button is for ^_^

Or you could just turn off images in your browser, as I do :P
