Public display of ban status by users' posts

Currently, when we ban someone, we also set their default user group to a special disabled "Banned" group. This is also a feature required by the Banhammer script, since it doesn't talk to the actual forum API and needs a simple way to ban people. But the primary reason to do this when banning through the normal forum system is so that it displays a handy "Banned" tag under their user name, by every one of their posts, so people get the idea that this is not the sort of posting we find tolerable.

I think you can set/use group image for that, right? Or are you requesting a feature that an avatar of banned user should be changeable to something like the above? If it is considered as a feature, maybe that default banned avatar and/or group image can be customizable via css?

I think that transparency thingy can be done by css too, right (or may be wrong)?
