Why can't you view the rules when you are banned?

Question

So, awhile back, when got banned, I still stalked the DB a bit. For some reason, I clicked on rules and it wouldn't let me in? Why? Is this a glitch, or is this how the site was made?

Well, I know for a fact it isn't a glitch.
No one can view the rules when banned, though I wonder why!

Whats the mistake?  Not being able to view the rules? Or getting banned?
