View submission: Announcing Online Presence Indicators

This should really be a new post rather than hiding it (again) from your users in a 13 day old post.

If a user is banned from a subreddit, they will not be able to see the online status indicators of other users within that subreddit.

But they can easily go to **any other subreddit** you have commented or posted in and see your online status. This was repeatedly highlighted as having potential for abuse.

Agreed. I'm pretty sure nobody wanted an online status option.

Why would user bans **even matter at all**? It’s free to create unlimited accounts!
