Community bans appear to linger in effect after expiring unless the banned user refreshes the page #1399

Since I have an alt account I could test this out. I banned my alt account from my "Review Club" community to see what banned users can do and cannot do. I set the ban (or block if you like) to expire in 1 hour.

The next day I came back on my alt (which I had running in a separate browser), and I saw this:

Not only does it display a ban message for a ban that no longer exists, but it also says it will take one day before the ban expires. When refreshing the page, the ban truly went away, so the alt account could be used on that community again.

Now I was "smart" enough to realize I could just refresh the page, and of course, since this was only a test ban and not a ban for real, I could also use my primary account to check the data about the ban, etc. In a situation in which this happens for real, this may confuse people, and therefore I do think it needs to be looked at. Especially when bans as shorter than 24h, this issue is bound to happen a lot, we we don't want damaged reputations because people wrongly think they are still banned when they are not.
