Are you thinking of mediation perhaps?

The caravaners are the worst by far, they are a bunch of opinionated grumpy old bastards!!

Well the way i see it is when it says "member deleted" in place of name/avatar, that indicates that particular member has been banned...
Other than that i guess they just leave & we're left broken hearted & wondering why...
(Or blame me for upsetting them... )

I'm not sure what is going on but maybe they dont use one and just thought they could not connect

This isn't about bankruptcy, criminal law, or any of the other references your initial post compared to.
It's a forum, we all know what a 'moderator' and 'moderation' mean in that context.
Aster wrote:Forgot to address this in my last reply... Regarding the queries about bans, deleted accounts etc.:
As it suggests, posts by "Member-Deleted" are from when an account has actually been removed. This is not a 'ban'. If an account it baned, the author remains visible and posts are still attributed to that account, the account is just no longer usable.
On the subject of missing members and how many have been banned... We haven't banned anyone since the new moderation system came in. We have issued a number of warnings though, and a few people have apparently taken umbrage with receiving one and decided to no longer participate in the forum as a result. So be it.
BFS, for the purposes of saving members from asking questions/waiting for replies from a banned account, some indication of a ban could be useful. I will think on that.
