The Cellar - View Single Post - Is it better to ban someone from a message board..

No one. I was just wondering about people complaining about a user to the owner rather than just ignoring him/her. Why people would do that.

And then I started to think why have both, an ignore option for users to use, and also a banning system. Banning someone erases a user for everyone, when maybe everyone doesn't want that user gone.

I used to ask why do you need an ignore feature. But now I wonder, why ban when users can ignore?

I did expect people to respond with "If you don't like it, too bad." But that doesn't answer my theoretical questions.
