Okay, I can understand because some threads go public, but isin´t it easy to simply not allow the banned member to post on threads that go public? Why not keep the bans policy the same as on .old where if you were banned on the mains, you could still post in the private groups you were in? If you´re an all around asshole, then the admins in the group (beacuse moderators sure as shit aren´t going to do it since there aren´t any) could ban you. I just find it stupid that once you´re banned, you canno´t do nearly anything on the site. I´m surprised you even left us the option to send and recieve private messages. All this does is make people make more alts to bypass the filter. In my main group, I´m the other only admin (the other is out on hiatus) and if I´m banned, who´s going to ban members who start posting spam and NSFW content? There aren´t any mods, so that option is out. Even admins who are banned can´t do anything in their own groups. Makes absolutely no sense. And sure, you can say ´then don´t let those members in the group!´. Sure, that could work, but with the way Private Groups have been roadkilled with the update, we´re not at the liberty to get picky with members in order to maintain/increase activity to survive. If they act up, then they get the boot. But what do you do if nobody can do it? Is the webteam going to fix this issue and set it back to how it was, or is this something final? If you guys ever plan on actually fixing private groups, I´d like to put this out there as a suggestion for improvements.
