Bug description

When someone goes into vanish, other players (defaults with no perms) can type /bal [vanished playername]. How do i fix this?

Steps to reproduce

1. have 2 players online (test111, test222)
2. Put one of them in /v (test111 in v)
3. Go in to the other persons account and type /bal test2
4. You will see Test222's bal, even when "/bal test2" isnt a valid player
5. You will see that he is in /v
6. Log out from test222 and repeat step 3 and it will say "error player not found"

Expected behaviour

it should say "Error: player not found"

Actual behaviour

Test222's bal is shown when he is in /v and when typing /bal test2

oops, for step 2 I meant to type test222 not test111

Can you replicate this on the latest stable release of EssentialsX (currently 2.18.2)?

The behaviour you're describing doesn't sound like the EssentialsX /balance command, players with the ability to check other player balances (essentials.balance.others) are able to query vanished and offline players. If the player is vanished, their name is shown without any prefixes/nicknames etc, as if they were offline. There's likely another plugin handling your /balance command.
