It is not a "ban".

Do we need to get so techinical and semantic about definitions? I thought it should be clear that it's not LITERALLY a case of ''banning'' scenario.

IMHO, in most cases YES, because these topics are read by people having different levels of experience (and understanding) of phpBB.
Also looking up info on banning or inactivating will give different results.

If I set a forum member's account to ''inactive'', is that a temporary or permanent ban from the forum?
An inactive user is unable to logon to the board - does that answer your question.

No.

No.

In that case I have no idea what your question is.

If someone on your forum passes away, well you don't want to remove their name on posts but there is also no reason for someone to be sending them PM's either.

How about to remind them to vote?

That's ok, don't feel bad (not that you did anyway). I have been permabanned from that forum, and I don't want to come back. So, I no longer have an interest in this question!

If your question was about YOU being banned or inactivated on another site it would have help enormously if you'd explained that in the first place.
