And will banned users be told about their ban and given a reason for it?

spez said earlier that shadowbanning was originally for spam bots and should never be used for real people. The only way I can see to actually get rid of shadowbanning (rather than just give it a different name) is to accompany *every* ban of a user (that doesn't look like a spam bot) with a PM saying

you are banned from reddit for breaking *this* rule in *this* post or comment. message /r/reddit.com or whoever to appeal.
