Or better yet, just leave a detailed explanation for the closure on the "banned" page users get to when they try to hit the now defunct subreddit.

This is a fantastic suggestion. When a user attempts to access a banned Subreddit, an explanation should be found on the page they end up on. For obvious bans, the explanation could be something simple, for more complex situations like these, a more detained breakdown could be posted.

This. If it's worth taking the time to consider banning, just leave a note as to why you're doing it. Simple enough.
It clarifies why and makes certain people aren't left in the dark and confused.

AFAIK on /r/TheFappening, it's just a period. If the admins could link to the blogpost and possibly this post, it would clear up confusion.

Transparency relating to banned or shadow banned users would also be great. The entire notion of shadow banning makes a mockery of the system imo.

This is not good because you want transparency for everyone to easily see.
