The wee problem with that is that to say so at ISF is a bannable breach of the rules.

Stupid, but true.

Thank god the Kiwi attraction to Halloween is drying up as we do Diwali instead in late October.
That's crazy strict. Shunned for even mentioning the exiled.
I recall a photo of my daughter with her daughter as a baby; daughter's back covered in a beautiful tattoo, and the picture being banned because i was.

I'm sure it depends on who does it, too.

Not quite correct,

You can be mentioned, which I've done several times, but passing on a message from you is viewed as attempting to get around the ban and also a bannable offence.

Yeah, and it got Pres banned as well. Not the best thought-out plan.

I don't remember a time when someone was banned for passing holiday messages from a banned person.

Intent matters. If you're basically arguing by proxy on someone's behalf, that's not on. But banned people are mentioned all the time.

Feedback for the "reaction" feature - also known as "likes"
So far it seems that most responders are saying to leave it as is.

Trust me - I have asked the question and was told that's exactly what would happen. Feel free to have a go - you might get away with it.

To be fair, you had a bit of a rep back in the day.

With the new software over at ISF, it looks like there is no public "active member" count.

Still, it looks like it's doing ok. It's doing well enough that I've decided not to ask for my membership back again. I think I would get sucked in. Self control isn't my long suit, apparently.

I've been chatting a bunch over at SkepticalCommunity though. That's......interesting.
