View submission: Providing context to banned users
Currently we do not include the rule that was broken within the ban message. Would that be something you’d be interested in including and think it’d be helpful for educating users?

Absolutely, many subreddits use toolbox macros to do just that. Seems like dynamically updating the first sentence to specify which rule was broken would be simple. Ex:
You have been banned from participating in r/Community for 1 day because your post violated Community Rule 1 (No insults or uncivil behavior).
Also, there's a typo in that screenshot of the ban message:
You have been banned from participating in r/Community for 1 day because your post violates this *communty* rules.

With all due respect: It's very confusing to me that you don't know this is key functionality. Genuinely wondering: Have you ever participated in the mod exchange program? Have you spoken with a mod, or moderated yourself? This is super super basic obvious stuff. The VERY FIRST question people ask is "what rule did I break".

I'm not the OP for the comment but, 100% and also a link to an appeals process if the sub has one!
