I met with Whirly in-world, and after a while we think we figured out what happened. When you ban an avatar from a group, if your viewer is not aware that they are a group member, it will not also eject the target avatar from the group. This can happen like so:
- UserA: be a group member with 'Manage Ban List' ability
- UserA: open the group floater, and invite UserB to 'Everyone'
- UserB: accept the invitation
- UserA: do not refresh the group info floater. Verify that 'Roles & Members' -> 'MEMBERS' does not show UserB in the list, because your group data is stale
- UserA: Go to the 'BANNED RESIDENTS' tab, and hit the 'Ban Resident(s)' button
- UserA: Ban UserB via the people picker
- UserA: Refresh the group info floater
Expected results:
- In (6), UserA's viewer should attempt ejection of UserB, even though UserB doesn't appear to be in the group.
- The normal ejection messages ('You have ejected', 'You have been ejected..') should appear to UserA and UserB at this point
- Currently, this notification would also appear to UserA.. we may want to suppress it:
Unable to eject member 'UserB' from the group 'TestGroup'. Ejectee is not in the group
- Upon refreshing the group floater in (7), UserA should see UserB in the ban list and not the members list
Actual results:
- Because UserA's viewer doesn't know that UserB is a member, no attempt is made to eject UserB
- UserB remains in the group, despite being unable to rejoin it
- Upon refreshing the group floater in (7), UserA sees UserB in both the ban list and the member list
Steps to Reproduce
Im still hunting the repro for this. Whirly banned Sparkles from Crash Test Dummies and Sparkles was added to the group ban list. However Sparkles remained in the group and can use group chat etc. I unfortunately didnt notice exactly when this error occured. Hopefully the details below are enough for you to work out what went wrong from the server logs.
Group the ban failed in: **CRASH TEST DUMMIES** secondlife:///app/group/13a21b79-b7b0-ea08-3fa8-a23299cc5247/about
Banned avatar: Sparkles Alchemi
Banner: Whirly Fizzle
Location of both Whirly Fizzle and Sparkles Alchemi: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Testylvania%20Sandbox/109/93/22
Viewer used by both Whirly Fizzle and Sparkles Alchemi: Second Life 3.7.8 (290887) Jun 12 2014 18:16:33 (Second Life Project GroupBan)
Approx date/Time Sparkles Alchemi was banned by Whirly Fizzle: 17th June, Check server logs from 6pm SLT till 7.13PM SLT
(Saved Wed Jun 18 02:30:34 2014)Sparkles Alchemi has been ejected from ' **CRASH TEST DUMMIES** ' by Whirly Fizzle. <---- Was this the ban that failed? 2.30 is GMT time, so that is 6.30PM SLT I do not know if this event was the last successful ban Whirly did on Sparkles and the ban failure ocured after this or whether this is when the error happened and Sparkles was not actually ejected here. I suspect the failure was shortly after this event.
Logfile attached for the session where the ban failed. I had both avatars dual logged on the same viewer so the logs will be a bit confusing to follow.
Maestro, Ive left things alone in crash test dummies for now - so Sparkles is on the ban list and also a member of the group. Whirly sent you an invite as Owner to crash test dummies incase thats needed.
