studiot Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) Can someonetell me how this came about? How did this (legitimate as far as I know despite the name) member last vist on August 7, yet post twice today? I also noticed that the last member to be banned (yesterday) was lsited online again today. Since this latter type of event has occurred several times lately, are the two matters linked?

They definitely come up as being banned, and yet the last visited time is more recent. It's possible they can still access their account and read messages but can't post. (to see that they have been banned, for instance, and perhaps they can only do this once — I don't know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Some functions take time to synchronize. I've noticed a bit of delay updating parts of the system. I'm sure it's nothing sinister. Probably some swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

Endy0816 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 May just check IPs. Might be an idea to ban a dummy account to test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swansont Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Thanks to hypervalent_iodine's investigation, we now know that if you are banned and try to log in, you will be recorded in the "who's online" list, but all you see is a banner saying you can't access the site. So you are on the site, technically, because you have to be to view that page. (Meaning my guess earlier was correct — it lets you into the foyer to show you the note telling you you can't come any further inside the building) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
