I loved when I saw this banner next to disruptive trolling members. Is it still in use? I know a few members that would qualify!:laugh:

I resemble that remark! It's like a scavenger hunt - they are here, you just have to try to find them.

I'm sure it would be used if it was warranted. It took a lot to get one of those banners.

I remember one former member that got that banner and has just changed his profile pic to a mic drop. That was pretty funny.

Check the first posts in the "things that annoy you" or "things that baffle you" threads in AHL.

Good to know. Thanks. To be honest it was satisfying to see that banner used when troublemakers were ultimately banned. This is the best HT forum on the internet and we don’t need those disruptive trolls. Cheers:)

Always meant to ask esp since it was such a long time member, but what (in general) did Melmac do to get permanently banned?

Religion, Politics, hawking his own Website, general disagreeableness, flaming other members? I don't remember anything overall except noticing they were suddenly banned.

All I think. ;)

The banner is still in effect, easy to see on the first page of the RAH thread

While we wait for A few words about...™ Lawrence of Arabia -- in 4k/UHD Blu-ray​

No matter what caused the ban of that particular member as he is somebody who I have held in high regard but you can see the red banner next to his name.

In general I would prefer to not see any of those banners and in fact I see them very rarely these days which is a good thing.
Except of course for Josh, no idea why he is still around :D

It happens.

The fact is, I joined HTF during an especially horrible time, when I was struggling to cope with life, and that was spilling out all over the place, and I was banned from HTF.
