From a banned user? I wouldn't think they would be removed.
More interesting would be if you down vote someone, do you still get a point? And if you down vote FaultyWarrior, do you get 3 points? 😛
I don't have the power to delete. Well, guest accounts you can't delete because they aren't really an account. I can edit and have been doing it for years even with regular accounts. Now I can't be bothered and just flag the regular ones and no one sees them again.
I should look into it, but I am not sure he has posted in years, even in the mod area. The site is more active now though, even if it is only 5 or 6 of us posting all the time.
If I knew that, I would be much closer to the answer. I probably knew at one point, but don't remember now. PHP based, but I don't believe it is phpBB.
