I'm having a hard time setting my profile and blogs to private. I don't want anyone to see them.... was this feature removed? If I have my account banned will my blogs still appear or will they be erased?

Yes, the feature was removed and you can't set it to private. However on the old site when someone got banned, you couldn't see their profile afterwards regardless of what privacy it was set at, so I'm assuming that's still the case.

@harry_james_pot: Thank you for the information. Privacy features like this should have never been deleted. I've deleted all 536 blog posts that span the course of 7 years because of this issue.

I recommended this feature in the "Features YOU Want" thread.

Banned accounts still have visible profiles as well, just for your information - I'm not even sure there's a way to tell if a user is banned or not outside of the various parts of the mod tools that make it clear.

Well that explains why I never saw a banned profile... No more game over? :/
