There are a few different settings as to what the banned users See's..
like.. sever error
site broken
slow site ( you can adjust how slow )
and some other options that I don't remember.
Basically, it is buying you time and trying to discourage the user from coming back.. They might just think your site is jacked up.

yes, your login info is stored in your browser cookies. You can clear your cookies and then go back to the site, and you wont be loged in.. so if when they are loged in and the site is slow, they clear their cookies and log out and the site runs fine.. They might catch on..lol
Here is a list of hacks we use to ban users and keep away spam and banning..
Miserable users - vBulletin.org Forum SpamBuster v1.0.0 (Stable): Identify, log and remove spam posts on your forum - vBulletin.org Forum Akismet Anti-Spam - vBulletin.org Forum
these 3 are really great.
Cyb - Advanced Permissions Based on User's Post Count - vBulletin.org Forum
and this one is very handy :cool:
