Summary

Banning from group does not prevent a user from posting

Steps to reproduce

This was tested with @javanick in Help and Support

1. Have test user account make a post.
2. Have that account banned from the group.
3. See that test user can still post.
4. Refresh, test user can still post.

Platform information

Demonstrated on Chromium / Manjaro, presumably this is low level and universal.

What is the current bug behavior?

User can still post after being banned. On refresh they are shown as not a group member but can still post

What is the expected correct behavior?

User should not be able to post or join the group.

Thats what I thought to, but this was reported only the other day. Can you replicate?

Can confirm. I did this with @javanick after a user who had been banned was still commenting.

Got him to ban my test account after posting, then could just rejoin the group and post again.

I'm guessing maybe @javanick didn't check the "ban permanently" option? I just tested what @benhayward.ben suggested both locally and on production, and it worked as a charm.

The error was actually when commenting on activities. Just attached an MR with the fix.
