at the mess.be forums, one of the mod rules is to provide a reason for closing a thread. Usually a reason is provided by the other users of the forum (they are nice like that

http://forum.mess.be/index.php?showtopic=12893&st...=99605&#entry99605

I think its a good idea to provide a reason. Allows the poster to know what they did wrong.
Agreed.
Also, when someone is arrested, they are told why they were arrested and what law they broke (with the crazy laws coming out nowadays that probably won't happen anymore).
If a reason is stated as to why someone was banned or why a thread was closed, it would lessen the chance for other threads of the same nature to pop up again. It also gives the forum more of a user-friendly feel to it, and causes less confusion.
