> [@Guest-starring\_Id](#): > > Sorry to flail this expired mule, but I’m sure I’ve seen a couple profiles that indicate a suspension, like Scumpup’s. Late to the game, but the red “suspended” in a persons profile is how Discourse shows posters who have been banned. I think an actual suspension will give the dates and disappear once the suspension expires. That’s why **Bo’s** profile shows no suspension but **Scumpup** is banned so his still shows. Some mods used to put “banned” next to the user name so you see it on every post they made, at least for socks and trolls. I’m not sure if they do it at all anymore. > [@John\_DiFool](#): > > This couldn’t be our missing **Martin Hyde** , could it? > > [Watch bodycam footage of congressional candidate Martin Hyde's cantankerous traffic stop](https://floridapolitics.com/archives/499680-watch-bodycam-footage-of-martin-hydes-cantankerous-traffic-stop/) No, because the @Martin_Hyde that posted here wasn’t a blustering idiot. I miss his posts, but I could see his departure coming for quite a while. This board is very unfriendly to conservatives, even anti-Trump ones. I’ve said it before, but if I was a conservative I certainly wouldn’t let anyone here know about it. ---

We’re suppose to change banned user’s titles to BANNED. That is what you’re seeing next to their name. I sure it is a step that has been missed from time to time. Not sure if I’ve missed it yet. * * * * * * **Bo** is of course welcomed back whenever he wants. He was only suspended for 3 days and it was back in January. ---

There are obviously legions of people who were banned prior to Discourse who won’t have their titles changed. ---

He kept citing this blog as a source- _it was his own._ So, he was his own cite. His knowledge was not as deep as it seemed. ---

I always enjoyed LSL Guy’s posts. I fly out of Lambert a lot (have to travel to St. Louis for work frequently) and sometimes wonder if I’ve passed him in the terminals or been a passenger on one of his flights. I hope he comes back someday. ---

I’d disagree. Toward the end of their run, I figured I knew what they were going to say when I saw the user name. “Boring” would be the most likely adjective I’d use to describe them. However, you miss who you miss, and I can’t tell you you’re wrong on that count. ---

> [@What\_Exit](#): > > **Bo** is of course welcomed back whenever he wants. He was only suspended for 3 days and it was back in January. It seems he took getting suspended badly. Up to him if he gets over it or not. BTW, can you not search for banned users profiles by searching for their user name? **Shodan** , **Scumpup** and **HurricaneDitka** all show up as not being a user name. Doesn’t bother me at all, just didn’t remember it working that way. > [@hajario](#): > > There are obviously legions of people who were banned prior to Discourse who won’t have their titles changed.

Second that. Always nice to have someone who has actual facts to offer as opposed to my wild guesstimates and unsupported theories. I feel he may have a slight lead on me in the win column. ---

Oh, @Idle_Thoughts did jump me straight up. Like the 3rd day I posted. I had read and talked to a couple Dopers, in PMs before I ever posted, for about a year. @idle_thoughts shocked me. I had followed a couple of his game threads and loved them. You just never know who you’re gonna piss off on any given day. I’m good at doing that, it seems. ---

Speaking of banned posters there was **ZPG Zealot.** I remember her making some sort of argument that a woman shaking a man’s hand was an invitation to rape her or something to that effect. (It was why she would refuse to shake another man’s hand.) ---

Her argument was that a handshake was _literally the same thing_ as rape (or functionally equivalent, anyway). For obvious reasons her thesis was met with much scorn and ridicule. Other than that her posts were usually inoffensive and often pleasant and informative.
