Banned Members Showing Up in Active Users

In summary, some users are unable to post on the site due to being banned, while others have read-only access. Those with IP bans cannot even access the site. This is similar to unregistered users who can also only read content. Additionally, there is a feature that shows banned users the "Forbidden Fruit" that they cannot access. One user checked to see if their name was on the ban list, but they were logged in and able to access the site.

They can't do anything. They can access the site but they get a message that they are banned.

Ahh, I see. I'm guessing they have the same privileges as unregistered users? (Read-Only access)

Yes, they cannot post. The exception is an IP ban, in that case, they can't even access the site.

Yes. For their sins, we tease them with the Forbidden Fruit, but they can neither touch, nor eat it.

Zz.

It didn't even occur to me. But, as it turns out, I was logged in.
