We don't have an automated way to notify users at this time.

Well, at least you're honest, I suppose.....
Could you please start working on one?

That doesn't answer the question of whether they'll be notified of the ban...
Manually perhaps? How else will they get their chance to "discuss"?

Whoa, are you going to be banning people without telling them about it?

/r/ideasfortheadmins: Please implement an active ban system that notifies users for lesser (non-spam, non-abusive) offenses, as an alternative to the shadow ban.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I really think that most users here think that may be something that is important to develop.
"Apparently I'm in reddit GITMO and I didn't even know it." - That said- I totally understand how useful it is for many subs that the banned user doesn't know.
For an example take /r/mensrights and the manhood101 spammer. He keeps posting the same imgur link that has a link to his website almost every day, the mods keep removing it once its reported and the user's alt is usually quickly shadowbanned. Usually those are 1 day accounts.
To counter this I think any account that is aged over 3 or 6 months (or has 1k karma) should get the benefit of the doubt and at the very least receive a message.
