2) The offence with a reference link or the quote. As well as a link to the broken rule
This probably isn't possible, often it's a pattern of behavior over days or weeks that's led to the severe penalty of a ban. Often the people who are banned are warned first...so the "why did I get banned" talk is just bullshit talk from the offender. Since there are typically several examples of the offending behavior the mods would have to cite multiple examples, which is a burdensome administrative task.
It's rare that examples aren't obvious in the member's account and in the Meta forum the banned member can ask the rest of the community to evaluate their post history and confirm or contest the ban decision for that member's edification.
Good thoughts on the "Permanent" part...there should always be a time limit mentioned.
