    Can Closed Account be banned from being put under the names of people who are in fact not after closing their accounts? It's very annoying when replying to a thread and not knowing if the person you wrote to will in fact reply.

    I know ye have done it with "Banned" so I imagine this would be a quick job.

    I know it's not a really big deal and if it even makes the list it's way down it, but no harm in saying it :)

    Well, when it says "Closed Account" surely that clears up the question "I wonder will this person reply?"

    Ah but your imagination doesn't know the full truth around the user title censor. It does not deal in phrases, just in words. A long time ago we added the word closed to that censor, so it should show up as asterisks. I've warned one user already about abusing the user title like this just after closed accounts came in :) If you have a particular user who has the word Closed in their user title then do point them out to me so I can have a look, either here or via PM.

    Not if the user in question happens to be a subscriber who can change what it says under their username at will.

    Oh wow! I never thought of subscribers!

    Looked into this. The filter is fine, the person who had Closed Account has actually closed their account :)
