(This is in reference to the DSiPaint painting administration page, I'm not sure if it applies anywhere else)
Currently, if a painting is owned by a permabanned member, it will show "BANNED" in place of the username, without the link to the album. I don't see the purpose of this, it only hides information.
An alternative would be for the username text to have the strikethrough attribute.
It's probably just that doing a strikethrough is not the common practice for denoting perma'd users. Moreso they'd just get completely eliminated from teh site. Although it would be a good touch.
