Looking through longer chain of posts, I don' have to go long to find replies from banned members. Makes me wonder what do the majority of users get banned for?
I also wonder why they don't delete the profiles, or even why we can't delete our profiles if we decide to leave
Deleting whole profiles really fucks with forum software, especially one with transactions and the like.
Consider also that a user who has been banned has a good chance of having been banned for some malicious intent with trades/sales/purchases, so it helps to protect others from scammers and the like to keep their bad behavior publicly available.
Kidding aside, some of it is scammers or general shadiness. If it's just being belligerent and negative, members are always given a warning. We don't want to ban anyone unless it is for the good and safety of the forum.
I don't know if it's majority, but there are a couple of guys who try to return without clearing it with the admins. They're pretty easy to spot, as they can't help but post in ways that got them banned in the first place.

There are guys who have tried to come back over 20 times. Really skews the optics on how many unique people legitimatly get banned.
I never understood why there couldn't be a short text when you click on banned person something like "this individual was banned because selling repros as real games"
In all seriousness, it's like inviting a guest to a dinner party telling them to act on their best behavior, they get drunk and act out, they get kicked out, they come back the next day in a disguise, they get kicked out again because they're not fooling anyone.
Then they go home and blog how bad they were treated by the hosts.

Because then we get people commenting on and voicing their opinion on why so and so got banned, and
Legally speaking, this place is small potatoes but I've wondered about not letting people fully delete their accounts. I know that in the EU, supposedly, you're suppose to give people the option to completely wipe their profiles from sites. This is a security/privacy thing and, personally, I've actually appreciated having that option for some bigger sites I wanted to walk away from and never return too.
I know that this place seems to be a soup-to-nuts hobby made site so I can understand that trying to figure out pulling out all appropriate details for a deleted account would be a nightmare, but I wonder if it was at least considered by Dane for EU compliance. Again, nothing can really happen. Even if some form of letter was served, this is a US based company. The most he could/would have to do is ban European users, which would totally suck. But, as a software professional, I'm curious about this aspect of account management on here.
