Removing banned members from membership list?

[Kathy]

I'd like to retain the banned members in their posts...appearing with their posts (if any) but need to remove their names from the membership list when viewed via date joined or by alpha.

Can someone tell me how to do this?

I have a banned member (banned for harrasing emails) and now as she has escalated the situation, demanding her name be removed from the memberlist...she is like a gnat that will not leave me alone...much less continuing to send me threats.

I'd rather not take the legal action but would be easier if her name just magically disappeared from the list while I retained her registration info in case I need it for legal evidence.

Or could I just remove her userID from that list and keep her in my database?

Help? Thanks in advance!

P.S. Type slowly. I'm php-challenged.

open memberlist.php
find this:

PHP Code:

  $memberlistbits = "";
  $perpage = intval($perpage);
  $limitlower=($pagenumber-1)*$perpage+1;
  $limitupper=($pagenumber)*$perpage;
  $counter=0; 


below add this:

PHP Code:

  $condition .= " AND user.userid != xxx"; 


replace the xxx with her userid

Thank you sooo much! You are my hero today!

This gal has threatened to call the police, contact the television stations, call her attorney...you name it, she has threatened it all because her username (without email showing, nothing in bio, nothing in profile) is still on the membership list. She thinks I must be desparate for numbers with my 21,000 membership...(even though she doesn't know that I prune my membership list every month of inactive accounts with no posts....

Ugh, but she is a pest.

But I feel like for legal reasons, to save the evidence of her behavior, I can't and shouldn't delete her account.

This will preserve her account and info...while she doesn't show up on the list! No more pestering (although I guess she will find something else to harass me with!)

Thanks!
