GMail quality control?

I have noticed that, recently, quite a few new posters have appeared
in this group, with the attached message:-

"This account has been banned because it violated the Google Groups
Terms Of Use."

What could this mean? It doesn't seem to interrupt their posting.

No sign of that message on my server or in a Google Groups search.

People who (re)-use the email address for posting are not
allowed to have a google groups 'profile' (whatever that is).

It's nothing to do with usenet.

That's one of the advantages of being a lesser breed without the law,
or, using GMail. I get that message when I view Profile to see the new
URC posters' previous form. It's useful.
