Fixed Banning a moderator leads to error

[Astrum]

I came across this inadvertently and was a bit confused at first. I was trying to ban a test user to see the process and I got an error. Here's the details from the log:

Error Info
ErrorException: Illegal offset type in isset or empty - library/XenForo/Phrase.php:288

  }
}

As it turns out I had set this user to be a moderator of a particular forum to test the reported items and moderation queues. Once I removed him from being a moderator the error message went away and I could ban him just fine.

Sorry if this has already been posted, I did a search but didn't find anything.

Edit - I'd also like to say that even though this is my testbed for development and I do a lot of spelunking I also tried this on my production forum which is free of any add-ons at the moment and is only using the Flexile theme. Otherwise it's a stock install.
