Can you arrange this??

Exactly what I was thinking, TheDutch. What I did was to make a completely empty template (postbit_banned) and that solved the first problem. Now the banned user would see his own original post, admins & mods would see the original post with the "this user has been banned" note and the regular users wouldn't see any post at all by the banned user.

The new problem was that the banned user is still able to start a new thread. If he/she does start a new thread, the thread would be empty and have no content and all (except title), and would seem odd for most people (except the banned user who wouldn't notice )

Is there a way to hide new threads as well? Great hack so far though.

Edit: Of course it would be possible to remove the permission to post new threads for the banned user, but then again, wouldn't that be a little suspicious?
