How do you find out exactly why you were banned?

I think the website needs a protocol or something like that where mods post whom they banned for which reason. This protocol would of course only be accessible by the mods. Each mod writes down/copypastes the reported post(s), reason for ban, length of ban and signs it with his name.

That sounds like something the mods would like to see, I hope. Good idea Rol!

Well said, RolStoppable.

This is similar to the system we have at Seriously! Forums.  There is a section in each user's profile called "user notes", which is only accessible by moderators.  It's very helpful in remembering repeated offenses and in keeping everyone accountable for any administrative action taken.  Whenever there's a question, you can go right to the user notes and see what happened.  The more information is available, the easier the moderators' jobs are, and the more confidence the community has in their moderators.
