Close Banned Users Threads

[PixelatedHighDef]

On several occasions ill be scrolling through the sections on the forums, and constantly see in the "new posts", people offering to buy accounts/other items from a user who is banned, my suggestion is, upon banning a user, all of their threads created get locked/closed to avoid people aimlessly bidding/commenting on threads which you may as well say are dead.

no because they might be unbanned

Then just lock the threads. And if he gets unbanned the threads will be unlocked.

what EpicFooF said is a way better option. Threads should not be closed just because the user is banned. locking them is a way better option, and this should only be done in marketplace sections. Discussion sections should not be locked.

I am confused. Locking and closing threads means the same thing?

It's as simple as being able to see a user's banned to know not to deal with them. If you want a particular thread of a banned member to be locked I'm sure you can report it and the moderation team will handle it.

By closing a thread he means to remove it.

I mean it says clearly,
"User has been banned for scamming."

 

[Ivain]

Will this be implemented or not?

Have you tried reporting a banned member's thread to be closed?

There has been many occasions where someone still buys from a banned user who scammed and the person buying is oblivious, and gets scammed again. Maybe make the threads "Hidden" so they can't be seen anymore.

I'll move this to pending for now.

Thanks for the suggestion.

NEUTRAL

Positives:
- Stops people aimlessly bidding.

Negatives:
- May end needed discussions.

CONCLUSION:
Only lock marketplace threads from them if they are banned.

 

[Mick]

Threads posted by users who are banned will automatically sink to the bottom over time while new threads are created. I don't see any real reason for us to lock the threads when discussions may still be happening or input may still be useful to other people.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
