Really? Even if they continue to comment productively afterwards?
I think it's sad to see a hellbanned person contribute productively, since obviously they have no idea they've been banned.
- vinceguidry 11y agoSuch users, if they care to understand the community they want to be a part of, will eventually absorb enough knowledge to understand what a hell ban is, why they exist, what prompts a hell ban, and someone like yourself will alert them to it. Then they can request an unban or just make a new account. It was a lack of recognition of those norms that prompts the ban, it's only right that they have to work harder to arrive at that recognition before they can regain visibility. We don't want it to be too easy to become aware that you're hellbanned, that would defeat the whole point.
