To ban, to ban a user

[Tomisimo]

I'd like to know if any of you have an opinion as to the best translation for banning, in the context of a website. The two verbs that come to mind are expulsar and excluir.

banning = exclusión, expulsión
to ban = excluir, expulsar

Which is the better of these two options, or can you think of a better term?

Mil gracias.

The most common word we use in Spain is an anglicism, we say "banear" (you can look for "banear" in a searcher and you'll see a lot of entries, although this term is not "good Spanish" at all)

[poli]

I'm a non-native Spanish speaker, so I could certainly be wrong, but
I would say prohibición

[irmamar]

You can say both "prohibir" or "expulsar", even "restringir", but I said the common word used in Spanish forums.

[poli]

Oh I see what you mean. In computer lingo, banear is the word, but I know that's Spanglish.
Ban=prohibit in English. The government has banned (or prohibited) the use of DDT.
The book is banned (or prohibited) in Iran.
I you hear the following:
El gobierno baneó es uso de DDT
o
Iran baneó el libro?

In these cases we'd use "prohibir":

El gobierno prohibió el uso de tal sustancia o determinado libro.

"Banear" is only used in forums or web sites. I wouldn't say that it's "Spanglish", since Spanglish doesn't exist in Spain, it's just an Anglicism:

Este usuario ha sido baneado del foro.

I know that it's not a correct word, but it's used, just like "post". We use post instead of "mensaje" very often. Although I know they are Anglicisms, I can't avoid their use, they're too frequent. Maybe I should avoid, but...

To ban can be translated as prohibir la entrada, but I guess it's not a good option when talking about forums.

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

Para excluir a un usuario de un foro, yo usaría "expulsar", para una prohibición permanente; para una temporal, "suspender" (como en la escuela).

[irmamar]

Sí, supongo que es lo más correcto. ¿No usáis vosotros "banear"?

[María José]

Yo nunca lo había oído.

[irmamar]

En Google 238000 páginas en la web. En español 134000. En España 54900 . Sé que no es correcto, pero se usa

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

@Irma: No conozco foros estrictamente mexicanos o latinoamericanos, pero supongo que sí se usa "banear". Personalmente, soy muy reacia a utilizar extranjerismos de ese tipo, pero jerga es jerga y cada oficio y cada actividad tienen la suya, así que es probable que "banear" sea la opción necesaria.

[sosia]

Entiendo que sea un anglicismo, pero lo normal en foros técnicos es usar "banear", como se usa "login" y "password", en vez de decir "suspender/prohibir/expulsar/restringir" , "Usuario" y "contraseña"
Muchas veces "banear" es algo temporal y "expulsión" como definitivo.
Normalmente las categorías son "avisado", "baneado"/"prohibido" y "expulsado"

No defiendo el uso de "baneado". Simplemente es que no sé qué pensar . Voy a abrir otro hilo.

David in my opinion the word more usual is Ban.

And also is likely used as bannear.

Lo usarías con dos n?

No, the common thing(and "correct") is to use it with one. You can always read upside an avatar of a banned user: "Baneado" or directly: "Banned"

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

@David: "banear" y "baneado" son preferibles con una sola n.

No only one.

Estoy en contra de ''banear'' a pesar de su uso frecuente en Internet y principalmente en los foros. Secundo las opciones de:

to ban - excluir, expulsar, prohibir (la participación/entrada en el foro).
banning - expulsión, exclusión, prohibición.


Como traductor defiendo el buen uso del español a capa y espada.

Saludos.
