Ban but online?

How can the account be closed but online?

It was just a delay maybe.

The account is open

That's a fake bio

if he was really banned

his views and bio will be gone

No it's not.

@Real-Lucky-Noob

Ah, it's this one.

@Reai-Lucky-Noob

That's just their name fields

YEs

I think they will only lose access to everything when they load any part of the website or if they try to play. besides that, they can still continue for a little longer.

if they are banned then their profile picture will be gone, also the chess.com closed sign is different from the ones that are public, also, they would have a red x next to their username

takes a lot to confuse him tbh

No, only one was

There have been instances where a banned member still shows online for a short time.

Members using an upper case "I" to look like a lower case "l" can be a little confusing 😀

me rn lol

12/11/2025 he's banned

"reai lucky noob" does not exist

Username was changed.

like @Martin_StahI (closed for abuse)

what would happen if someone tried to change their username to that? would it be allowed?

Account was renamed.

If you me the closed for abuse one, probably not. I would think only someone with with that as their real name would have any chance, but even then, it probably wouldn't be allowed since it could cause confusion with a moderator account.
