I don't know why not as far as communities, however. Before I ban, I always warn -- so people have the opportunity to communicate at that point...

I agree that it should only be for communities (and feeds, I hadn't thought of that). I didn't suggest that it should ever be available for journals-that's why I specified "communities" in the suggestion.

IMO you should only find out that you're banned from somewhere when you attempt to do something that the ban prevents you from doing. I ban people preemptively a lot, and that's because they're trolls or spammers who I've seen in unrelated places on LJ and I don't want within ten feet of a space I maintain. I don't want them to be able to check that I've done so, or they'll just open up another of their LJ accounts and harass me there.
I just can't see normally helpful and well intentioned users checking this for one account before they join communities with another account just in case the previous one was banned from it without their knowledge. If they really do have no idea that they might have been banned in advance, it won't occur to them to check.

If account linking were ever implemented, I would be all about a warning that one of your linked accounts (and which one) is banned from somewhere, upon your interacting with that account (before you actually interact), so that ban evasion would become a choice and not an accident, providing the accounts were linked.
