In what way exactly by asking a question, and then in response to several completely out-of-place attacks posting some clarification, am I [failing to show decorum](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=169185&perpage=50&pagenumber=2)? I’d appreciate in future if you’re going to reprimand me that you wait until such time as I actually break a rule. Thanks ever so. ---

I have a vague recollection of someone having one before…I can’t remember who. \*\* Oh, I used to put a custom status on some people I banned. I believe that my most famous was when I banned 2Sexy4mycomputer and put in 2stupid2live, or something like that. Under the old system, when I banned someone, I’d have to remove posting privileges and change a few other things. I’d also have to type in a custom member status…which was usually just “Banned”. In this new system, I can just select “BANNED” from a dropdown menu of usergroups. ---

Maybe we could use custom status as a warning for those about to be banned, but the Mods think may act better with a stern waring. i.e. lionel On Thin Ice Whadda ya think? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/yo-coldfire/161120.md?page=2)
