Naamah D. Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I've come across 2 users with this in their profile banned. If a member is banned why don't their accounts just don't get deleted? Also, can you also have banned put on your info if you don't log on for a super long time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaos Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Mainly, if a person gets banned, they usually get unbanned. If they get permenantly banned, their account stays there to keep the e-mail adress stored so they won't make another account (i think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 The main reason the accounts of banned members are kept in the forum database is to retain a record that other parts of the database can be associated with. This way, all their posts, comments, etc. still remain attributed to a member, as opposed to becoming zombie (guest) posts and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Your first question has been answered. As for your second, no, we do not go through and ban people for not logging in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
