Having it say no reason specified leaves the user confused and wondering what happened which causes a lot of anger and misdirection.
I know you mods are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO busy that typing a syntax every single time you shoutbox banned a user would be time consuming, however, I do feel a reason is appropriate and necessary.
While I do acknowledge and understand the rules, it would just be nice to see for which rule I broke and the punishment I received with a reason as to why. I know most of the staff have programming experience and kLepTo has already made some shoutbox modifications so I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to bring up a dialog box when clicking the ban button to insert a reason.
Just so you guys know the syntax, it's /ban X_AMT_OF_TIME -REASON- user (i think)
Also there are obvious exceptions to this rule, for example some idiot posting Scu's pictures or a ban evader but if someone who is using the shoutbox every day logs on in the morning is banned with no reason specified then they get pissed off. I'm not mad about this ban btw Cube, just wanna know which 3 hour rule I broke.

I hope all the moderators find the time in their busy days to read this thread.
