I thought I was hellbanned once but as it turns out I'm such a boring, milquetoast non-contributor that everyone was subconsciously plastering over my posts in self-defense.

I think "shadow ban" is a myth that comes from some weird forums code. My understanding is that someone can be banned without it showing in the Lepers Colony and people who have received such bans thought something sneaky was going on.

It's not. As has been said, it caused successive posts to appear the same color. This was years ago, before your reg date. And it was called hellbanning. Shadowban is a Reddit term.

There was also a time when you could be banned in such a way that you could only access one forum that didn't appear in the list, as I recall. There were always a lot of experimental moderation tools, basically until Radium was kicked out.

The best part of hellbans was you could tell when someone posted because you'd see two posts next to each other with the same shade.

Oh poo poo, is that what that was? I remember seeing that few times and wondering what was up. Figured it was something about Radium’s terrible coding etc.

I'm pretty sure the forums are capable of having a forum that only people who are banned can post in or view, surely this will go well.

I always thought hellban was the coolest idea. One of my favorite old Loveline bits was when a caller would have real pressurized speech and they would mute the audio and every few minutes would check in to hear the person still talking and they would say "oh yeah" or "uh huh, like you said" and then mute them again.

There's people who are absolutely convinced that Twitter is doing this to them personally because they can think of no other reason that people would avoid or ignore them. They'll #hashtag about it and follow each other, which makes it even worse because they expect everyone else to think about & respond to their opinions but not vice versa, so they'll have hundreds or thousands of followers but still nobody gives a poo poo about them. Bot accounts simply add to the mayhem.

Also a lot of insecure and/or desperate content creators who fall for every totally unsubstantiated rumor or protip about trying to game the algorithm in their favor are now convinced that the reason their drawings and videos aren't blowing up is because they were shadowbanned for retweeting their own content or commiting any number of imaginary faux pas rather than the much more obvious conclusion that they just aren't very good and people don't respond well to having you spam their timeline with the same piece over and over in a desperate bid for validation. Even this very site has a long-running totally unproven conspiracy theory about being shadowbanned on Google and other places due to an imagined grudge from some anonymous employee working there.

They don't show up in searches unless you type their entire username (even if you follow) and don't show up in hashtags.

anywhere accounts are free its easy to test for a shadowban. log in with an alt and see if you can see your post
