I'm not arguing that this is not how it does work, now, I am suggesting that saying the equivalent of, "That's how we've always done it," is never a justification for continuing doing anything.? There has to be a rationale.

I understand why group owners get to choose whether to notify a given member of a banning or not, though my personal approach is to always tell anyone put on moderated status or banned.? Members should know.

But as far as access to publicly accessible webpages and archives, a given member's banned status should have no influence on those being accessible.? Banning is about preventing participatory activity, e.g., posting.? That's what banning is virtually everywhere that a single user ID allows access to multiple venues that are not related to one another.? It's different if you're banned from a service, e.g., Buick Forums, where the user ID is for a site where all content is about one class of information.

I've asked for reconsideration of the use of "You are not a member of this group," when what is meant is, "You have been banned from this group."? It's up to Mark whether this change is adopted or not.? But you can't get what you don't ask for, so I asked, giving a clear rationale for the change.
