If a user has a disabled account, the user's profile page lacks a link to send MeFi Mail, effectively preventing us from sending that user MeMail. But most of the MeMails I send are via replies. When I reply, there is no warning if the user has disabled the account. It can be a little surprising to realize that one has been sending messages essentially into the ether, although I presume the messages are preserved for the user's return. Can we get a warning when sending a MeMail to a user with a disabled account?

Forktine is gone? No! Why? Does anyone know what happened, or if he's coming back?

I should probably know this but if I ever did, I've forgotten, and I'm drawing a blank hunting around right now. Is there a way to MeMail someone who has disabled his/her account, or otherwise find useful contact info from their page? [more inside]

Some mefites need a bit of sensitivity training on the whole disabled thing. [more inside]

We have a "joined" date in user profiles. Can we have a "left" date for the pushers of the big red button?

Why do comments that have been favorited show up with all links disabled? Are there any plans to change this behavior in the future? [more inside]

1. So I add a contact for the sake of entertainment perhaps. 2. Their account is then disabled. 3. I can't get rid of them from my contact list? Argh.

This account is disabled. What? When? Why?

Hey, I see we now have a "This account is disabled" flag to slap on banned users' profiles. Any other additions along these lines?

Have trackbacks been disabled? Or is it just that nobody wants to link back to Metafilter anymore?

FYI: Trackback has been disabled from the site until I get some time next week to put some fixes in to block certain people from tweaking with it.
