Im seeing (in liftoff from world) a "banned" flare on a lot of posts lately. Is it applied to members because of their instance being banned or is that not possable?

Admins don't always choose to purge all posts by a user who has been banned, sometimes they'll just ban the person and remove the infringing posts since if the person was a very active user purging them could take a chunk out of the content on the site, and assuming they have mostly legitimate posts it's probably the best option to remove specific troll posts after banning than to purge their whole profile.

Also if someone is temporarily banned they almost never purge those people since it's a temporary ban, many of the recent bans on LW have been temporary or are long-time members on the site with a lot of content.

That makes sense.
