XF 1.2 Do not show 'Awaiting Activation' accounts in 'Users Online Now' area

[Jamie Dabrowiecki]

We're currently having some spam issues which we are working on.

For the time being, is it possible to stop these spam users (who will be in the 'Awaiting Activation' state, from showing in the Users Online Now box?

It can look pretty bad if you've got a couple of genuine users online and then a tonne of spam bots which obviously spammy names.

They only show up for moderators (those with "bypass user privacy").

Ah, excellent. A user complained that there were loads of spammers online but I guess those accounts were verified so that they showed up.
