Okay, so having being a (rather unwilling) participant in the new community bans, a few suggestions.

1. Link me to the post that got me in trouble.

2. Tell me that I’ve been banned.

I got no notification that I had been banned, and it was only when I had finished writing a 2 paragraph response to a thread, and went to post it, that I discovered I was banned. Colour me unimpressed. Send me a tubmail, put a note somewhere, do something to let me know so I don’t waste my time writing up a large post, only to be confronted with the ban screen.

these have been put forward to ET and will be added soon.

hopefully it’ll be a popup or a page like the “you’ve been screwed”. losing your post is kind of inevitable though. aldo’s right, just hit the back bumon. It’s chance that you lost a long response. the pages don’t poll the server checking if you’re banned or not so it’ll only update when you go to a new page, including the post form.
