The quieter they're dispatched from the forum with the minimum of fuss the better.
My reasoning is that alot of times, MB is the only method of communication between users, as not everyone knows each others' E-Mail addresses, IM's, etc. So if someone is banned for any period of time, they will be unable to give their friends on MB a heads up regarding their absence.

And if someone feels the need to validate themself by gaining some notoriety or attention from a banning on an internet, then I say give it them in this thread. I'd rather see it all in one post than scattered amongst a hundred mindless "Why did so-and-so get banned?!?!" threads.

There should be a way to differentiate between active and inactive member as well. Possibly putting some sort of label on a user's acount after 30 days of inactivity.
