With some automated registering, some sites can have up to 300 banned users.
The current practice is to put them in a banned user group, where they have no rights at all when logged in.
However their names appear in all user lists and thus hindering regular operations.
So, there should be an additional status for the user, in the way of activated for being banned.
Administrators can simply set a yes-no in the edit of a users profile.
Result is that:
The user looses all the regular permissions (permission handler checks this flag and returns empty permission)
User lists exclude these members.
Other operations as eg notifications are skipped.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Logged In: YES
user_id=695829
an optional field with a mailer option would also be good,
to inform the member, via E-mail that they have been banned
and why.
