what are the blurbs under peoples user names?
such as; Banned, King of fish, Queen of sheeba, Here, fishy, fishy, fishy.... etc etc etc??????
i've seena few that say "Banned" are they actually banned?

That is called a "Custom User Title", and you may edit yours here at this link:

Yes, if it says "banned", it's probably accurate. We have had some members of yester-year "go off the deep end" so to speak, and some had to be removed from the site unfortunately (for them). It's usually only one-in-one-thousand people that turn out to be sour and needed to be said bye-bye to.

Wow??? Just what kind of behavior would get you banned?

i was reading an old thread, saw three people banned... i looked at their profiles and while i could still see the profiles they hadn't been on the site in, umm, about a year or more, i forget, anyway that's why i asked. i was surprised to see the profile if they were banned, but figured it was because of the thread.

At times, we issue warnings, infractions, and at worst (rarely), bans.
