IIRC is too old school for most people now a days
IIRC = If I Recall Correctly
What you are thinking of is IRC = Internet Relay Chat

@Flotilla
There once was a "Dicksquad" subforum, for which you could ask permission and then people spammed in it for a bit and then it died and then it was removed again;
I am not aware of other experiments of a similar nature. The Dicksquad thing has nothing to do with this request.

On Topic:
#1: When you get banned, it's generally pretty clear why.. no real need to discuss anything, is there?
#2: If you can just continue posting (with mods-only, no less!) this makes cooling off .. more difficult.
Like, I insult Dime cus he's being a shit as per usual, then I get 24h banned to calm down with the slurs,
and instead of "You can't post" I am greeted with "Hi this is a subforum just for you and the people who banned you!".
I'm gonna fling so much shit in there that my 24h ban becomes a lifetime one straightaway.
#3: IF there is a legitimate reason to discuss your ban (= you were banned unjustly), the forum has some issues which ~the public~, not just the team, should see.
Tweet a pastebin with your thoughts to one of your friends and let them post it in this subforum, then. Rogue Mods running around isn't cool.
#4: A forum is no democracy, and this largely would just serve to undermine the moderator authority?
+ Makes it look like they run around randomly banning people and then demanding you to come up with reasons to get unbanned
#5: You would have to create a second "Banned" Group, like "Uber Banned" for people who are banned + can't post in this ominous sub forum, as they abused said right to start 50 threads full of crap?
Perhaps not that much of an issue, but still a hassle

I understand the general idea, but I have seen similar in other forums and was never under the impression that it actually accomplishes anything other than additional bad blood.
E: Also you already know that some guy will let themselves get banned on purpose just so they can take a look at ~the secret forums~
