You can tell that someone's been banned but is still logged in because the little green light next to their name is lit up (meaning they're here) and it says "Banned" under their name. :seeya: [waves to banned person and wonders what he/she/it did this time! :D ] Jackie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amey311 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 What exactly does banning mean? I assumed it just meant you can't post. Anyone can read the messages, even if they're not a member, so banning doesn't deny you access to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen500 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 wow! i had no idea, lol. now it makes much more sense to me why people make comments to banned people every so often!!:D But you don't have to be logged in to read the forum.

KidsHappen Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Whew, no green light by my name.:lol: Yes, you have a green dot right beside your user name. That means that you are currently on-line and signed in. If you are banned it will say banned under your name. You could be banned and still signed in. I have my account set so that whenever I come here, I am automatically signed it but I also have it set to invisable so I never have a green dot next to my name. Mine is always grey ETA: Mine is always red meaning invisable. I think Grey means not on-line right now.

Cindyg Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 [slightly OT] Somebody posted a few days ago about their dog biting their 3YO. I responded to the thread. Looked for it the next day, and the thread was gone. I can't imagine anyway that thread turned into a trainwreck. Does anybody remember the thread? Does anybody have any idea why it would have been deleted? Do innocuous threads ever disappear randomly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingChris Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I don't think I have ever been banned but I could have been in one of the times when I don't come here for a few days. Like on Thursday - Friday and probably still into this weekend, I was hardly here. On Thursday, I got a very rare for me severe migraine that lasted into Friday when we kept having tornado alerts so I wasn't on the computer much at all and was still feeling lousy. Saturday I was extremely busy as I was on Sunday so I could have been banned at a time like that but never known it? Or do they notify you by email too?

Jen500 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 So...if someone is temporarily banned they can log in but just not post?

ElizabethB Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I was online for a bit then, but did not even open that thread--you could tell just from the title that there was going to be little to no rational discourse about the subject. I generally avoid threads like that, although I will occasionally read but not post if I need amusement. But, I usually don't even read them.

swellmomma Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 When I was banned, I was still logged on because my account is always logged on. I could not read anything because I was logged on and was not to have access. I am sure the same thing happens to others that have their account set to stay logged on, that if you get banned, your status shows on but you can not see or do anything on the page.

SueinNC Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Ok, I think that makes sense.Maybe. I am not so sure. That statement would imply that the green dot remains on constantly while banned or constantly while not online. He who shall not be named's dot goes from green to grey. If you have the "keep me logged in" turned on, I believe it just automatically logs you in when you enter the forums. Once you exit the forums, you are essentially logged out. I also think there is a point where you remain inactive too long on the boards, it will turn green to grey. Once banned, I would think you can view the boards as a guest.

nmoira Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 It's possible that when the ban takes place, the member doesn't get immediately booted (but presumably still can't navigate to new pages), but shows up as logged in until they time out, what, 1/2 hour later?
