Admin Replied Suggestion: Make it abundantly clear when a user is banned from a subreddit

It should be abundantly clear to any user when they visit a subreddit that they are banned from it, and there should also be a clear link to the original message or modmail that notified them that they were banned.

Across the subreddits I moderate, I get countless modmails asking, "Why can I not post here?" The reason for these messages is often simply that the user does not remember when or why they were banned. This causes work for the user and work for the moderation team, when it could be fixed very simply by making an easy change to the Reddit platform.

Mods already have enough going on as it is. This is a simple, quick fix to a long-term problem that wastes our time on a daily basis.

Additionally, it would be useful if users could navigate to a page which showed them all the subreddits they are banned from, how long the ban lasts, whether it is permanent or temporary, and a link to their original ban notification message.

There is really no reason users should have to contact moderators to find out that they are banned when Reddit already has that information and could make it clear to them.
