Banning profile - what is it really doing ?
I really don't understand if there is a bug with CB or the Banning function just do nothing except making the user invisible for other users.
I found that as a banned user I can do many things on the site...for example, I can change my profile, upload profile image, upload photos to my gallery (Nants CB Gallery plug-in), writing in my blog (My blog), post in the forum (Fireboard) and even send private messages to other users.
For my understanding, banning user should prevent him from doing those things. Banned user should be able only to watch site content (with annoying red message which said that he is banned) but not with the ability to add content, otherwise this user became like a GOD...can see AND act but not to be seen.
Is that a bug or what ?
Thanks.

Banning a profile hides the profile from other members.
The thought is that the actual profile contains inappropriate content and thus will not be visible to other members. Allowing the actual profile owner to make modifications is the only way to permit the profile owner to make necessary changes so the admins-moderators may unban the profile (once the needed changes are made).
Blocking a user (from CB User Management backend) will not allow user to login anymore.
