Question about banning/etc..

[Duck-Billed Platypus]

When a user is banned, what exactly happens? Are they not able to login at all or can they log in but just not participate in anything (no voting, posting, etc)

[pjp]

They can't login at all. When they try, they receive a message indicating their account is inactive, and to contact an administrator. Or something similar. Its a standard message. The same one you would see before activating your account.

[klieber]

They are, however, still able to browse the forums as an anonymous user. They just won't be able to post new threads or reply to existing threads.
