SlammedDime,

Does the "very very easy to do" solution include #1 and the last half of #2 in Reply #32, or just #1?

I am not sure, but I assume the "easy to do" may not have the other features in Reply #32 either, is that correct?

Some of the features listed among the seven (which were suggested by various members throughout this thread) in Reply #32 will help us maintain the member as Ghosted in kind of a stealth mode (they won't know their status) with some security too (as in #5).  If they pick up that they're ghosted, they'll just close their account and sign-up again and the problem will continue unabated (alas), and we will have solved very little if they are one of those on-going problem sort-of-people.

I like the concept of easy to do, but what will we end up with as features?  Hopefully, something more than just a blank out for the non-ghosted member's eyes and the ghosted's eyes too, since that will be too obvious for the ghosted member to figure out and subvert.

Another thought of where this 'post modification' feature would be very useful is for low post based groups. ie) new users. That way if a user happens to be well cloaked spammer their post will not be seen by anyone until it's approved. The idea that they believe that their post is on the forum is great because it stops them from trying other means.

Of course this is also very useful for the 'troubled' members that feel belittling others makes themselves bigger which is the issue I have.

My vacation lasted longer than it was first supposed to (5 days longer), so I haven't got time to work anymore on this.
I've finished the feature hiding member posts, now I'm just gonig to hide them in certain other locations such as Recent posts and the unread list.

Feel free to signup to my new, simple bugtracker and file a feature request for the features you would like included:
