However, when I read threads and see that someone got banned, I'm always curious as to why they got banned. I'm especially curious because his name stays up and so do his posts, with a banned tag, in the virtual world, it's the same as putting someone's head on a stick. The thing is, we're never told why...
When a person is banned, typically what happens is that the post or posts that were the cause of the banning are removed. Obviously, if they're cause for a ban, the less people that are forced to read the posts the better. But that doesn't mean every single post by this person is necessarily a bad post and didn't contribute to the board in any way. So, other posts are left up for the good of the board. And sometimes, for example in the case when we discover someone is underage, there's no reason to remove any posts but they simply need to be banned.
