I see the point is basically for the forum to pull the "fade away" on a banned user, and the assumption is that they get bored, move on. Sounds like forcing a global ignore list onto all of the users in good standing, where the banned user is simply put onto everybody's ignore list. Or only let banned users can see each other's posts.
But... it seems like this would fall apart if they're PM'ing and not getting responses, or they browse the forum as a guest and don't see their posts anywhere? I don't always log in when I am reading the forums, so how would it differentiate between logged-in me, and not logged-in me from another computer? Calgarypuck would have to be set up to not disallow guests from reading the forums.
