Then someone should probably know about the privilege escalation bug that allows us plebs to read banned comments.
You also see banned comments? I think the person to notify is Matt of Tricycle.
The ability to see banned comments on userpages (but nowhere else) is a feature.
(Someone taking the active step of clicking on a username presumably has a specific interest in seeing the comments, and ought to be able to.)
I think Alicorn understood paper-machine to be claiming to see deleted comments in-place. I also think this because going to someone's user page and seeing banned comments does not seem like the kind of activity that would count as a "privilege escalation bug".
Depends on why the comments were banned. If it's because they disclosed information which shouldn't have been disclosed...
