    Do the comments/ratings get removed when a user is banned?

    This question came to my mind when I saw RegTidy 2009 thread being pushed up on the forums again.

    When a particular user is banned, e.g. ErorGen886, his comments and ratings are still there. He rated John Nigel Lew's website, jnlew.com as

    owned by a ranting arse! stay away

    Which is untrue, contrary to LiVeRpUdLiAn932's comment of

    Please ignore erorgen. Site is decent.

    If someone is banned, should his/her site ratings and comments be taken off as well, to dispel confusion among all of us?

    In my opinion, the forum comments should be left as they are part of a discussion - for the rest though...

    re: banned

    Users who are banned are generally new.
    They have little weight for their ratings; remember WOT is a Meritocracy = it takes time for you to be trusted within the system, so their ratings have no effect...

    Comments within these Forums remain, otherwise as FlyAqua stated, it would leave "holes" in discussions.

    As for comments left on Member Boards, they are generally deleted as Spam.

      Reminds me, trolling on

      Reminds me, trolling on PHung's board has now been cleaned up, and posts there have been disabled.

      Do the comments/ratings get removed when a user is banned?

      As far as I can remember, they are turned to the unlinked user "Anonymous" when a user is deleted. If the user is banned without deletion, it may stay under their name, otherwise if a full deletion is in effect, they turn to "Anonymous".

      It doesn't matter anyway, people will "disagree" with the comments a lot anyway.

    I agree: if users are banned, their ratings should disappear,
    but their remarks remain. Both in the forum and blog,
    but how about WOTs WIKI..?
