Why do some users have "user banned" as their profile picture? Wha does it mean?

they got banned from the app

they have been banned from using the app

Then how did one follow me? @mrsmord

that's strange maybe they followed before they got banned ?

@sarahdrew, how recent does it show up?

@mrsmord, I don't know, I got it this morning.

in your notifications does it say how long ago they started following you?

depends how long ago they followed yo

@sarahdrew, 16 hours ago

they may have gotten banned after they followed you

@sarahdrew, ok thank you

you are welcome
