Confirmed Banned members showing in Members online widget and Current visitors page

[AndyB]

Affected version

2.3.10

When a banned member attempts to log in, their last_activity is still updated. This causes them to appear in the "Members online" widget and on the "Current visitors" page.

Expected behavior: last_activity should not be updated for accounts with a banned status.

Would have to disagree with this one, it's quite useful to record when a banned account was last accessed. It can be operator preference to not display it within the members online widget, but it's harmless either way. Losing the activity record would be negative effect in our opinion.

I totally agree with you. There are a few reasons why you would want to see when banned users revisit the forum. Number 1 would be better spam control.

Are they not visible only to moderators and administrators?

No

There's no need for regular members to see banned members in the online lists. A better thing to do would be to exclude them so that only mods/admins can see them or through a permission for more flexibility with usergroups.

A regular member will just see that they are online but they won't have a strikethru designating that they are a banned member.

Are they permabanned members we're talking here or just temporarly banned members?

Personally, I think if they're permanently banned, their profile isn't shown on members online, member search or any of the member lists, but you can still access their profile if you have a link or go to it via one of their posts. Last seen should still update (unless the member has that disabled)
If they're temporarily banned, their profile still shows everywhere.
