Banned Accounts and their Merit Status.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

I think this kind of topic was also created some days ago, but with a different idea by the OP. Well, there's no need to collect back merit that has been sent to a banned account because I believe before the account received merit on a post, it might have been a good post that was worth meriting, and sometimes other members can still come across posts from a banned account, and seeing that the post got merit might attract you to read the message the user was trying to pass in that post. To even surprise you, @OP, are you not aware that some posts from banned accounts even receive merit up till now? The fact that they receive merit equally means they get some Smerit on their account but can't use it. Despite that, it doesn't mean merit stops flowing. If you have read your first comment, then I assume you know the reason why it never stops flowing.

Historically merits (earned ones) can be reverted by theymos.

I know, and I remember that case. If you look back at my earlier post, I didn't say that it can't be done. I said that the earned merits shouldn't be reverted back to the senders or taken away completely. Obviously, cases of abuse are something entirely different, like the situation with the merit source who was abusing the system. In all other cases where a person gets banned or disappears of the forum, no one should be touching their merits.

about any ban you are talking about, if it is a temporary ban, then you will be able to send merits,

hugeblack - wait, is it really accurate?

If the ban is temporary, then it will end within a day, or two weeks during it up to 3 months, so I do not think that you can send merits, but the account is not permanently banned, so it is illogical not to be able to send  merits after that.

Frankly, I do not know during the ban period, can you send merits or not? Can anyone confirm this? Can Merits be sent during the temporary ban?
Is it possible to send merits from an account whose signature has been banned?

This is my personal opinion on these cases. A temporarily banned account should have the same restrictions as a permanently banned account with the only difference being that the temporarily banned person will one day return to the forum. Like you said, be it in one day or a few months. But during the temp ban, the user shouldn't have the possibility to post, send PMs, or distribute merits. All restrictions are removed once the account is fully reinstated.

Is it possible to send merits from an account whose signature has been banned?

My personal opinion again. I think it should be possible. The punishment of that person is not being able to earn money from their signature space. Everything else should work the same as with other regular members.

Permanent banned users can edit Trust list according to naim07 case. It means you can use the forum with view only mode, just can not post, PMs, leave trust feedbacks.

I guess sending merit from banned accounts is not allowed as it is no longer view-only mode but actually have interactions with other members.

I confirm, that I can modify my trust list which I confirmed to LoyceV via Email a few weeks ago. I cannot leave any new feedback but I can delete old feedback that I left.

Well to me disappearance has to do with account is not ban (partially active) so there merits are still usable, while the ban account why I noticed some of their merits aren't being reverted is that sometimes such person could have chances of gaining back their account if their cases are clearly reviewed and they judge it, when they noticed the owner still have chances to get back his or her account, at the cost of restoring back the account they won't lose their merits. But however, ban account may not have that power to send out their smerits, I think only those they had issued a temp ban can be able to attest to it.
