I've noticed a lot of people who are banned showing up on the list of members who are currently online, Do you shadow ban people? If not why do they still come here? That is if you know why they do.
These are mostly spammers - we get a ton of spammers every day - so it will say they are online or recently online, but "recently online" just means they have been visiting the forum in the last 24 hours. So they are typically members (spammers) who sign up and are banned on the same day, never to be seen again.
I've found a way to not display banned members in the "Members recently online" list. For transparency reasons I would have preferred to not do this, but I decided to go ahead with it anyway due to the extreme volumes of spammers recently.
