Oh I have been wrongfully punished plenty of times in the past, although I will admit I was not exactly a good example for expected behavior. Most of the time a ban is reasonable (or at least only temporary, and they'll be back anyway if it's temporary so???) so I'm just saying that banned profiles shouldn't really be... shown? I haven't seen anyone suggesting this... I'd have the same energy toward this if it was to be hones.
maybe, if you REALLY want this to be a thing, maybe instead of just having them s h o w n, maybe there should be a filter button and it’s supposed to hide/show banned players’ accounts. and default it to hidden.
I believe banned users should not appear on the list if they are permanently banned. If it’s a temp ban, then they should continue to be on the ranking lists.
