great hack , I installed it.. and one and the only mod who knows about it.. is about to pee in his pants hehehe he loves it and so do I...
but one banned user logged out and was browsing and that could alert him to the problem.. since someone asked I will not ask again about it
maybe the idea of adding all logged out to the ban group is a good one then again.. most my users log out till they feel like posting.. so they will see
confusing now.. maybe instead of the link is not a valid thread we make it say something else.. the poster chosen to not allow guests to view his post for example

what ya think?
also.. this not a request but is it posible to show some posts of the banned user? or nothing at all?
Thanks for a great hack it saved me alot of answers that I didn't want .. why did you delete my post? why did you delete me? etc. etc.
