Profiles: mark banned users in some way

Title:
Profiles: mark banned users in some way

Area:
profiles

Summary:
While users you've banned are hidden from other users on your profile, they're still visible to you and are displayed the same way other users are. I'd like a way to know I've banned them.

Description:
It could be thanks to a different/muted color or a different format... Or they could simply be displayed in a separate list or only visible on the extended profile view.

I much prefer the second suggestion, that they either get their own list or are only visible on extended view.

I like the extended view option myself as well. :)

I like the idea, as long as it's visible "only to me", only when I'm logged in. As long as this idea doesn't turn banning someone into public humiliation via profile pages, yeah, it's a great idea - I've struggled trying to recall who's banned on past journals myself.

[ninetydegrees]

Good thinking. I didn't know whether they were hidden from other users/logged-out users but I've just checked and they are so this would only be visible to you, yes. I've edited the entry to make this clearer.

Great idea, then - thanks.

Ditto that that. On a case-by-case basis, if you hover over a DW user icon, it shows you the option to ban them, or unban them if they been banned by you from your journal, but I can see that it would be useful to some users (probably mostly Mods of communities) to see an explicit list.
