Here's the quote:
8.4 Show when users are banned

Actually, no. it is NOT rejected. I mean the user can CHOOSE whether they want to show if they are banned. I have a quote from @za-chary saying it's not rejected, but I lost track of it :l

Maybe a little button, like the button that allows you to turn comments on/off? “Show whether I am banned or not”

Would this be when you join or when you find out you are banned?

When you are banned so the user isn’t overwhelmed, and you can change it at any time

In the account settings?

I'm pretty sure I saw a dupe for this a while ago, here's a suggestion about disabling comments though.

1: If I find out that this topic is a dupe I will close this topic
2: The disabling comments one is closed :l

I can't see why this is useful. If you were temporarily banned, you can easily just explain that you were after you are unbanned. If you are permenatly banned, then:

No support. Being banned is a punishment. You should have no control of it.

Support! I've seen it happen a lot that some people keep asking if someone is banned under a banned person's profile. With this option the banned person could just enable the setting and everyone will stop asking the same question 500 times

How would this look?

However, this still seems useful.

Yes, being banned is a punishment. However, this isn't a suggestion to “Allow Users to Unban Themselves”. This is just having users choose if it says on their profile that they are banned.

If they were banned, they couldn't read comments.

I've never been banned before but I'm pretty sure they can still read comments but just not answer comments? Or in the worst case, if every page is blocked for banned accounts, they could just log out of the banned account.
Also, I was talking about hundreds of people writing the same comment and not getting a reply, not about if the block account can read the comments.

You actually cannot read comments while banned.

Ok, maybe you cant, but that wasn't my point. My point was that there are hundreds of people asking if someone is banned without ever getting an answer, with this suggestion, they would get an answer and wouldn't have to write a comment.

However, giving a Scratcher the option to publicly show if they are banned is NOT rejected; you can discuss it on this topic.

This is a really good idea. I think this is what needs to happen.
