how come

[benjamin]

banned members don't show up on the members list?

i think it'd be a good idea to show them.. so like when you're searching for a name change, it's annoying when you wait so long and then find out the username you want is banned, but when you searched it looked like it was free.

yea just an idea.

i was woundering the same thing when my old account was banned

When you search, if the account name is free, it will say something like: "Invalid user ID" or something. That tells you that it is free. If it doesn't, and even if it hasn't made any posts but does not say the Invalid user notice it means that it is not free. Even if it has not made any posts.

when you search for a name and its unregistered or banned ,it says 'No search results'

or if you search say 'Wicked' and someone ahs the name 'Wicked4' it comes up with that

i use the advanced search thing and see if it has any posts.

That is key words Search.
Go to advanced search.

no it isn't.. it's 'search members'

I would agree it would be easier, however it will clog up the Members List with people who can't even use the forum.
If a seperate list could be made under the Member List page saying "View Banned Users" that would be better, but I dunno how it would be made.
