Centuries ago at the dawn of the age the idea was put forth to have 'secret bans.' A moderator bans a user, but that user can still post, PM, make threads, what have you. In fact, that user is never even told he is banned. He continues as normal except... nobody can see his posts or threads any longer, except moderators. This could be extended to include the page load times. Just... make it take longer. Trick the computer into thinking it's loading when in reality it truly is 'just you.'
I see hilarity ensuing in the future. Truthfully, I don't know whether this is too cruel or too funny. I can see it now, a member that become irritated, and jaded due to the treatment of his community until one day he's had enough. He makes a thread, his last, in the community forum detailing the many cases of elitism, and prejudice against his posts, and threads. How he's been participating, but has yet to receive a title or prefix only to have a lone mod post in his thread stating simply, "dude you've been banned for like 4 months lol."
