Are Banned Members Logging into the System?

The screen shot below asks, "What's Going On?"

That's what I'd like to know. That member was banned for SPAM in October 2012, and they have been logging in (apparently) ever since.

I have noticed other banned members regularly listed as logged in, too.

Ted, can you remove the member listed below?

I just tried lifting the ban and re-banning the member.

The system didn't boot them off. Either that's another flaw in v-Bulletin or something's corrupted.

I get the impression from some Googling that banned users can still technically login, but just can't do anything once they're in.

Well, isn't that nice.
