I don’t believe this, but I’m going to argue in favor of shadow banding argument here:
Most people, even if they know how to check, won’t bother logging out to verify the post is banned or not banned. If somebody’s posting a lot of things, how would they even know one thing is banned? What would draw attention to it? Telling somebody hey this one thing you posted out of the 300 you posted yesterday is banned, will draw their attention, and they might work around the ban.
