Reputed Members/Closed Accounts? Can We know why?

[SlimPickins]

Howdy,

I was wondering if it would be possible to have the profiles of members that have their accounts closed updated with the reason the account was terminated (or perhaps a thread for listing the details of who and why).....

Not that I personally need to know EXACTLY why an account was closed but, every time I read through a thread and see a post from a member (that I am used to seeing posts from) is suddenly listed as "account closed" I wonder why and generally never know. Most recent examples that I just came across being Weblord and Archangel, seemingly well-established members, now gone......

If staff cannot say exactly "WHY" an account was terminated due to privacy issues or whatnot I understand, but even a categorical reason would be great, partially to help me insure that I never make the same mistake and also so that I can adjust my business-boundary with this person elsewhere if applicable, based on what the reasoning was. Or would that turn into witch-hunting (not what I want)?

If it is not an option, I guess I will just have to live with the mystery and remain grateful that NP staff work so hard at keeping the forum safe behind the scenes....

Thanks, Denver

I think it depends on what you got them for, could be a week, could be a month, could be never.

Many people automatically assume the worst. It is too bad that someone could be banned for accumulating points by posting in the wrong forum and then possibly putting up a post that is interpreted as trolling. Then once they're banned, others assume they were doing something shady in the area of online business. Would be nice if their accounts were labeled either Major Ban or Minor Ban or something like that. This way their business rep wouldn't be hurt by a non-business related forum violation.
