You could ask a mod. I don't think a regular user who has no access to mod tools will know.

They don't. All bans remain active until the timer clicks zero, and then the ban is lifted. Ask any mod... he'll tell you.

The site updates at that time.

Does that mean that I was banned at 4:15 for the past 10 bans?

No, he's right, though I recall it being 4:00 (to be fastidious). It's why if you get banned for a day, the timer will only count down the number of hours left before 4:00am EST instead of a full 24 hours. Like Slappy said, it's when the site updates. It's simpler on the technical end than having the bans ending all at different times.

The script that clears out the bans runs at around that time. We could just do it at midnight Eastern Time, but there's a bunch of more important stuff going on around then, so I like to spread different tasks out over an extended period of time. Mystery over.
