I went to have a look at Big22's previous posts, but got a message "Sorry, no matches were found" even thought their user profile came up with 46 posts. Is this a new thing? I haven't had this issue viewing banned users' posts before.
I can see everything fine from my end:

Posts are only deleted when a user is nuked, but then it would show 'Posts: 0' in their profile. Maybe you clicked on 'Show the last topics...' by mistake?
