When will they be able to contact you? When they finally discover after 3 years that they've been shadowbanned or will you be informing people of their bans now?

Not to be harsh, but how could such a policy really work?
It strikes me that bans really only are effective at people that care about their usernames.
Someone who is sending really hateful nonsense, death threats, etc. will use a throwaway or an alt.
Can you give any reason why you think bans based on username would be effective?

So they will only be able to argue in their defense *after you find them guilty*!?

Will they be notified of the 'ban'?

That doesn't strike you as being susceptible to abuse? Don't you think our concern is reasonable?

I strongly disagree with your decision not to inform the harassers of their ban and reasoning for it. Like LoL has proven, giving reasons when banning toxic people is better than shadowbanning.
