Feedback open letter Pt.2

[LeahTheTech]

if the person's ban was mistaken for someone else's and they are new then they aren't likely to appeal when faced with such a hostile ban message.

This is a problem we're aware of, yep. I added "If you believe this ban was not meant for you then please appeal regardless of what the ban message or length says!" in big bold letters to the "You've been banned" popup somewhat recently to try to help with that, but it is ultimately a consequence of having to have such a strict anti-evasion system to keep out griefers. I don't see how making ban reasons public would help with that, especially as that ban would just show up as an autogenerated "(Evasion attempt x14) we don't want you here" that we get many of per day.
