There has been an obvious problem with newbies getting the dialog when they have been question banned, and they don't understand the basics of clicking on the link to get the answer to why it happened.

The solution is simple: these users need to go away.

They've had many chances to get it right and failed completely.

And now, because they cannot figure out how to follow a link on the world wide web, we should somehow go out of our way to help them do that out, too?

No.

These users need to find some other site on the internet to post on, because they are no longer welcome here.

Alternately, they can email the address at the bottom of every page and plead their case. And if they can't figure out how to do that, either -- well, God helps those who help themselves.

Is this really the environment that we want to have at Meta for our sites

Yes, in this case, it is.
