But let him retain the ability to post. Seriously, it would cut down on everyone's administrative overhead. This way RR could go back to being RR and his profile would ALWAYS say banned. Seems like a reasonable compromise and I don't expect anyone to take this suggestion seriously, but seriously consider it. There are some real advantages:
1. The system doesn't get loaded down with abandoned user names
2. No one has to explain to the n00b's who RockerRick is in relation to his latest alias as they can read his post history.
3. We still get to be entertained.
4. Everyone knows to take his posts with a grain or two of salt.
5. Some of his posts are useful.
I'm sure someone has thrown this idea out before but what the hell, it's Monday.
