So question to our frequent mod members of the discussion, @What_Exit and @Miller. Much was made of poster Humans, both here and in what was fundamentally their dedicated Pit Thread:

> [@Poll: Would you like to Pit @Humans?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poll-would-you-like-to-pit-humans/1001947):
>
> Continuing the discussion from [Would you undergo surgery for an advanced and reliable brain computer interface?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-undergo-surgery-for-an-advanced-and-reliable-brain-computer-interface/1001929/19): I concur. But not only because of the polls, but mainly because of the subjects he starts. They seem to be taylor made for the users of this board, and that from a user who has been here less than a week. Too much insider awareness for a newbie, too focused to be without an agenda. It’s like AI was told to generate click bait for this specific user group: the SDMB. It feels to me li…

If I pull up one of their posts, there is no Banned notice, but if I hove over it, it says “This User is no longer active”. If I try to pull up their profile, it says “Oops! That page doesn’t exist or it’s private.”

So they’re kind of a Schrödinger’s troll right now: are they here but gone quiet/moved on, or was there a ban that I missed. Because if I hover over someone with a private profile, it says “This poster has a private profile” NOT the message I mentioned earlier.

I mean, I’m not going to cry if a likely troll got banned, I just want to remove the uncertainty.
