Solved What happens when you get banned?

[tom982]

Not that I am planning on getting banend, I'm just curious, but what actually happens when you get banned? I thought your account was suspended, until about 2 minutes ago I saw this:

As you can see, there is a user (pbdlk4) who is banned, but he is online at the moment. Could somebody explain the procedure of getting banned? And what actually gets you banned?

I'll give you a few mins to find out

If you are banned, you are no longer welcome. Ask a question and if a team member sees it, will be reported, if moderator sees it, thread is closed.

Keep coming back, I am sure Jon has ways to keep you out.

Change your name and you will be tracked down like a dog by your ISP address.

And then you will be stripped or all your badges.

Rudness, spam, etc. You do not have to worry.

Muhahahaha, I think he knows now.

If you did what I think you did, cool.

HAHA z3r010, you had me there :D

I was actually really worried because I got banned right after I was viewing the source code because I was trying to write a script that notified me when I got more rep. So I thought you had blocked me for trying that, yeah you can also ignore that message I sent when I was blocked

Thanks rich so can anyone explain why that member was online when he was banned?

Banned members still show in the who's online, but can view much of take part in the site.

Same, it was so funny looking back on it But unfortunately, a little power user can do next to nothing to get back on an admin

I have not seen it here but at Seven forums, is there a difference between Banned & Expelled

I think they both mean the same thing just depends on the user name

Oh ok thanks Jacee i see they have started putting in footnotes as to why they were banned as well.
I think this is a good idea as it might prompt people to read the forum rules
