Why are banned accounts practically unfindable?

It seems that recently chess.com has made it harder to locate banned accounts. Many banned accounts cannot be located using the search bar or other methods. I have to use specific odd methods to find them. 

Is this a bug, or is this intentional? If it is intentional, what is the purpose? 

On a side note, I'm also seeing some titled accounts have their titles removed after being banned. Is there a reason for this?

Hmm. I have had no problem finding banned accounts using member search once I get the spelling and underscores correct.

SoupSailor72 is not Soup Sailor 72.

Can you give an example?

Try @1random, or @Dutchf4.

They both pop right up.

@justbefair I don't see anything.

Could it be because you have a moderator account? It doesn't pop up for me.

It's possible. I don't know.

What browser are you using?

You can find them but it is tricky

Does anyone know how to find all the banned players you played against on your chess.com account ? Or banned for abuse ?

I'm using Chrome. Try searching without being logged in, can you still see them?

What?
