I'm just taking a stab at this so bare with me. I think they can only read posts but not respond or start new threads.

I've seen those before. Those were done under the old server, the mods were joking/playing around is the way it was explained to me.

"Muted User" is usually earned by the member by a "strike two" event/post/email/PM.

So Ed, Does that mean they can only read, but not post like mentioned earlier or is just a way to brand them.

We prefer to think of it like the mute button on the TV remote.

How 'bout we let you experience the mute button firsthand? I promise I'll unmute you later so you can tell us how it felt.
