I understand you may be ignorant to it, but an implied contract is not a concept I just made up. It is not a stretch at all to view the interactions between a website and a user through the lens of an implied-in-fact contract. If you are interested, here is a good place to start reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implied-in-fact_contract https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implied-in-fact_contract
Sites have TOS, and users in violation of the TOS should be banned. This is not the same as a shadowban. I don't believe it is within the rights of a site to secretly claim that a user is in violation of the TOS and then punitively altering the user experience they agreed to without giving them any notice.
