True, but if a user is notified of getting banned, then the user can work to get the false positive reversed.

In this case, the system is setup to let the user continue to post, without knowing that (effectively) their posts are doing to /dev/null.

Yes, I agree. I think it sucks to have these hellbanned folks who didn't actually do anything wrong.
