They can't do anything. They can access the site but they get a message that they are banned.

Ahh, I see. I'm guessing they have the same privileges as unregistered users? (Read-Only access)

Yes, they cannot post. The exception is an IP ban, in that case, they can't even access the site.

Yes. For their sins, we tease them with the Forbidden Fruit, but they can neither touch, nor eat it.

Zz.
