Vinny banned this person for not giving him Leberkäse.
I have mixed feelings about this proposal. It increases transparency, which is a good thing. However, some banned users might not want ban reasons to be publicly visible - they might not want something like "Banned for flaming MarioFanLongStringOfNumbers by calling him an idiot" to be on their profiles.

Nah, ban reasons don't need to be public. It can and has caused drama. We used to post bans in a public log in the past and it did cause problems. It kind of defeats the purpose of your ban if you can still stir drama while you're banned with such a feature.
Not to mention such a feature fuels the attention seeking troll with such a public log worn as a badge of honor. The last thing we need is to encourage a troll by giving him or her the attention they seek.
There is also no need for anyone but you and moderators to know why you're banned. I suppose if someone was really curious, they could reach out to you outside MFGG.
