1. a banned member cannot continue to post , what you are reading are his posts prior to his banning .
2. there are two types of bannings , temp ban and perma ban, to find out which , you will need to go to OT and view the perma banned list, if his name isnt on the list then he is on temp ban .
3. true , a member could be permanently locked out off a certain section like EE but there is no indication of it .
4. how do you know if you received an infraction ? well , you dont but everyone will see your user name in flashing red light,
not really , lol.
active infractions would be listed near your post counts and then it will disappear , there is a list of infractions at the bottom of your User cp/control panel .
