Are they still banned?

If caught, yes.

Nobody gets a title on this site, though. FIDE gives out titles.

To be a titled player, you have to have an official title and ranking (FIDE), which means in person, over the board competition, which means, no cheating.    This website simply puts their official OTB title up in their profile...   it doesn't hand out titles.

Yes I know that. This is what I am talking about.

 

1. A person plays with assistance, chess.com spots it and bans them.

2. That person gets a title through FIDE.

3. That person makes a new account and gives chess.com the title info.

 

What does chess.com do in that case?

If chess.com has a reliable way to link the two accounts to one person, then they would ban him unless he has gone through the required petitioning process to get a second chance.

I am not talking about the subject of cheating, and I am not talking about a specific instance with someone specific in mind. I am asking about the procedure of giving someone a title on their profile who gained a title and is no longer cheating online or offline. The opposite.

That is not what I was addressing. I am not talking about titled players cheating on this site. I was talking about a previously banned user without a title getting a title later through FIDE and then trying to own up to their mistakes and get back on chess.com the honest way.
