Active how?I see some posts where the member is classified as BANNED yet they appear to be still active - what does this mean?
Maybe they were recently active and the BANNED label was added retrospectively to all their posts?Active how?
Pretty sure this is what happens. All past posts will show the BANNED (current) status, despite not being so at the time of posting. They won’t have been active since being banned as that’s contradictory.Maybe they were recently active and the BANNED label was added retrospectively to all their posts?
Only if they are very naughty.Do members get banned from here??
Every forum probably bans some people - a lot of banned accounts will be spammers, scammers, fraudulent posts, threatening behaviour etc - we probably never even see most of posts that cause said accounts to be banned.Do members get banned from here??

If you change your avatar picture, then that too gets retrospectively applied to all your dicplayed posts. It is showing current status, thats all. Same if you change your class say from T2 to T1 which can be confusing if reading an appareent T1D(now) posting as if a T2D on orals.Pretty sure this is what happens.

Any member incurring this status, certainly won't be active in succession to the ban. Or for the duration until a temp ban Is lifted..
Hope this helps.
I thought everyone was pretty familiar on how this stuff works..
It's very inconsistent, for example mo1905 shows as banned yet others with a lifetime ban don't.@Mr_Pot What is also interesting is the fact that a temporary ban, a week for instance, gets you branded as BANNED.
Get a lifetime ban and your avatar seems to list you as an active member.
I’ve queried this in the past but apparently it’s some sort of thingy, glitchy, what’s it.
It was the retrospective part that fooled me. The person in question must have been banned due to a post on a different thread very soon after they made the last post on the thread I was reading, so they appeared to have made a post while banned.
I doubt whether most users will be as familiar with how this stuff works as a retired moderator.
