I think this is very unfair... When you get a message "you are banned, go away" by accident you can at least contact the admin and argue against it. Now you don't even know it happened.

Yep, I agree. I think the system needs some human oversight, especially with the number of false positives I've seen.

(You're probably the 10th person I've contacted to let them know about a hellban.)

Maybe it's an idea for a site, www.amihellbanned.com :-) Or aremypostsvisibleorjustforme.com :p
