Comment (by coffee2code):

 I personally found the labeling in the support profiles to be a bit
 unclear, so on the Profiles site I sought to make the nomenclature more
 generally comprehensible. As such, these are the warning labels possible
 in Profiles:

 * "banned" : The support forum profile "User Type" field for user is set
 to (the unfortunately named) "blocked". This means user cannot log in at
 all (thus "banned" from dotorg).
 * "blocked" : The support forum profile "Akismet never trust" checkbox is
 checked for the user. This means the user cannot post to forums (but can
 still log in, thus "blocked" from posting).
 * "modwatched" : The support forum profile bozo checkbox is checked for
 the user. This means the user is under observation by moderators when
 posting to the forum.

 If the consensus is that the labeling is still confusing, things can
 certainly be changed. I still don't like the labeling in the support
 forums, and bear in mind that the Profiles pages labels are also seen by
 administrators not familiar with the labeling used in the support forums.

 Perhaps rather than labels they can be short phrases: "banned from logging
 in", "blocked from posting to forums", "under moderator observation".

 Note to onlookers: these flags are only visible to WordPress.org
 administrators and support forum moderators.
