Twitter is currently working on a new way to inform users that they have been suspended or banned from the social media platform, reports Engadget. The latest test shows a small group of users a banner on top of their timeline, informing them of the ban.
A banner that you can't tweet, retweet, or like content will appear on top of your Twitter timeline if you get banned
In case your account has been locked, the same banner will appear, but informing you that you can regain access within a week. In the case of permanent suspensions though, the message will be pointing you to the appeal process.
Twitter is testing a new way to inform users their account was suspended or blocked
This new way of showing the banned account notice comes from the fact that many people have not realized they were banned or their account was locked. Only when they tried to Tweet or follow someone would they know.

However, keep in mind that this way of notifying users of banned accounts is still in a test phase right now. It is unknown when it will go live for all users, nor if Twitter will decide to go with this approach at all.
