I think it's a pretty good idea. I have been blacklisted once or twice, while ago, and as I recall, the Soul was clear. It told me who banned, and gave me the reason that the Moderator gave it. However it has been awhile, and I suppose if I ever needed to reference the reason for the blacklist, I could not argue against having it available to me.
My only worry is I think that giving users this resource could potentially lead to abuse of the system that assigns Herioic/Legendary and Mythic, by leading people to understand the system better than they were meant to. That is my only concern, and it is far fetched compared to the benefits. Achronos works hard to keep people from understanding this system. Again, this concern would probably hold little ground in practical application, but I wanted to throw it out there.
Given that small concern, I otherwise like the idea.
And I also appreciate that you made it clear we could not view other's ban histories. That would create elitism, flaming and criticism unparralleled on the forum. People could say "Shut up, you got banned last month for spam, your opinion doesn't matter." or something of the like if we were able to view each other's.
Thanks again for the idea.
