I’m appalled to see that a user got the tag “BANNED” next to their name despite contributing high quality posts + comments. So what’s going on here? Just curious.

    you can click on ‘modlog’ on the sidebar to see which mod/admin banned them, and what the reason was.

    Members who were banned on an instance will still be visible to that instance if they keep posting on a federated instance. So, while they contribute to one instance (the one you see them on), they’re banned on a different instance (likely the one you’re seeing them from). So, as a Lemmygrad user, I’ll see the ‘banned’ tag on users of the Lemmy main branch because they post to lemmy.ml, but were banned on Lemmygrad.
