    call me a curious guy if you want but i couldn't resist asking this:
    how can a banned member be online?
    i saw a member today who was banned for some reason. but beside his name was a green circle, indicating he was online. how can that be?

    is it that banned members can still log in but cannot post anything??

    Yes. Banned members can still log in but can't post anything as well as send or receive PM's.

    DON.

    A banned member when in a logged in mode has DP forum open in his browser, does turn the light green but instead of being able to read or post anything, he gets to see only the message about his ban on the screen!

    @seo: could you explain your question a little more? what is that "why" directed at?

    why was this thread opened?
    why am i a member here?
    why hasn't there been an earthquake today?
    why are there so many wolves in the forest?


    :D
