Because people want to know why they were considered to be spamming. Then next time they will make sure not to do it that way.

  > Because people want to know why they were considered to be spamming. You're arguing against a suggestion no-one has made. I'm proposing to tell them what they did wrong, not how they were caught.

    I've dealt with moderation before. The immediate response is something like "I wasn't spamming." or "Prove it." Basically, just saying "you're banned for spamming" is the same as saying "you're banned" - both spammers and unfairly banned people will follow the same path from there.

    Presumably the point is that the spammer operates many identities and can systematically determine details about the spam detection system by observing which of their identities get banned.
