I figured I'd post what exactly these terms mean for this forum since concerns were brought up in a post.
Banned: Members that cause harm within the forum. Whether it's verbal abuse, PM'ing and emailing members to only gain trust to obtain personal information (these usually are online predators... yes, even this forum has had a few
)
Trolls: Trolls are what you call the people who usually end up banned from the forum. It's nothing personal because I can't possibly know them personally and so I merely go by actions taken on this forum.
Suspended: Members who are suspended still have posting rights but their ability to PM/email members or view member profiles have been banned. This usually happens when a member acts suspiciously and has not replied to any emails regarding the activities and so the account is modified until they contact me.
When a person is banned.... they get this rank avatar automatically because it's standard:
If you do a search in the members section for banned members... you will see this.
Like I mentioned, all this can't be personal. Merely go by actions on the forum in an attempt to keep LeadSister a fun but mostly a safe place to visit.
Hope this clears up any concerns regarding the "labels". It has to be done to show that bad behavior isnt tolerated here. Which is also the reason behind the avatar. The avatar was changed to a troll in case some people might be sensitive about the toilet. That was used only because it was my husband avatar at his forum.

Annie, they lurk under bridges waiting for you to cross over!!!!

"I'm a troll mouldy roll,
I'm a troll mouldy roll,
WHO'S THAT STAMPING ON MY BRIDGE"
"It's only little old Annie-Bear.
I'm a dweeb and therefore too small to eat. Why don't you wait for my big sister Jayne to cross. 
She's much meatier than I" And so the Troll let her cross to the other side.
"Trip trap...trip trap"
Next came........

That Troll is a Norwegian Mountain Troll I think. They`re in every souvenir shop here in Norway and one of our national symbols, so I think its amusing that you chose this one Pamela.
I just checked out who were the banned members and got curious. How many of the banned members are the infamous Phenom44? how many times did he re-join under a new name?
And Mikey, thanks for sharing that classic story!
